Claims (8)

A data recording device for recording still image data in a semiconductor memory in a logical recording unit,
Signal processing means for converting the input signal into still image recording data to be written to the semiconductor memory;
Interface means for writing the still image recording data into the semiconductor memory;
Detecting means for detecting an arrangement of the logical recording units for writing the still image recording data;
In response to said still picture recording data, said detecting means data recording and control means that records by selecting the logical recording units continuously by. The data recording apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the control unit selects a continuous number of the logical recording units according to a data size of the still image recording data. The data recording apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the control unit increases the continuous number as the data size of the still image recording data increases. The data recording apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the control unit selects a continuous number of the logical recording units according to the number of recording pixels of the still image recording data. 5. The data recording apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the control means increases the continuous number as the number of recording pixels of the still image recording data increases. The signal processing means further comprises compression means for performing compression processing,
The data recording apparatus according to claim 1, wherein when the compression process is performed, the number of consecutive logical recording units is made smaller than when the compression process is not performed. Imaging means for capturing a subject image;
Continuous shooting means for continuously capturing still images by the imaging means;
Signal processing means for converting the output of the imaging means into still image recording data;
Interface means for writing the still image recording data into a semiconductor memory in logical recording units;
Detecting means for detecting an arrangement of the logical recording units for writing the still image recording data;
Control means for selecting and recording successive logical recording units by the detection means according to the still image recording data generated during continuous shooting by the continuous shooting means;
An imaging apparatus comprising: The imaging apparatus according to claim 7, wherein when the continuous shooting is performed, the control unit increases the number of consecutive logical recording units as compared to a case where the continuous shooting is not performed.
