Abstract
An image pickup apparatus includes a recording-mode switching section for selecting a single-format recording mode in which recording is performed in one of recording formats or a multiple-format recording mode in which recording is simultaneously performed in a plurality of recording formats, and a recording-size setting section for setting a recording size of image data for each of the recording formats. If the multiple-format recording mode is set, and if a recording size is set to one of the recording formats, the recording size set by the recording-size setting section is set to all the recording formats recorded in one-time image capturing.
Claims6
An image pickup apparatus for generating and recording a plurality of image data in different recording formats in one-time image capturing, the apparatus comprising:
- a mode selection unit configured to select a single-format recording mode in which recording is performed in one of the different recording formats, or a multiple-format recording mode in which recording is simultaneously performed in a plurality of recording formats;
- a setting unit configured to, if the single-format recording mode is selected by the mode selection unit, set a recording condition related to a recording size and compression ratio of image data recorded in the single-format recording mode;
- and
- a controlling unit configured to, if the mode selection unit changes a mode setting from the single-format recording mode to the multiple-format recording mode, automatically set the recording size of image data recorded in the recording formats different from the image data format recorded in the single-format recording mode, according to the setting set by the setting unit, and set the compression ratio of image data recorded in the recording formats different from the image data format recorded in the single-format recording mode, not according to the setting by the setting unit.
A method of controlling an image pickup apparatus for generating and recording a plurality of image data in different recording formats in one-time image capturing, the method comprising:
- selecting a single-format recording mode in which recording is performed in one of the different recording formats, or a multiple-format recording mode in which recording is simultaneously performed in a plurality of recording formats;
- setting, if the single-format recording mode is selected in the selecting step, a recording size and compression ratio of image data recorded in the single-format recording mode;
- and
- controlling, if the mode is changed from the single-format recording mode to the multiple-format recording mode in the selecting step, to automatically set the recording size of image data recorded in the recording formats different from the image data format recorded in the single-format recording mode according to the setting in the setting step, and the compression ratio of image data recorded in the recording formats different from image data format in single-format recording mode not according to the setting the setting step.
