Claims (8)

Imaging means;
Still image processing means for generating still image data using moving image data output from the imaging means;
A memory for storing the moving image data and the still image data;
A storage area for the still image data is preset in the memory, the still image data generated during shooting of the moving image data is stored in the storage area for the still image data, and the moving image data is stored in the still image data. Memory control means for controlling the storage operation of the moving image data and still image data for the memory so as to store in an area other than the storage area of the image data;
An image pickup apparatus comprising: a recording unit that reads out moving image data and still image data stored in the memory and records them on a recording medium.   The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the memory control unit continuously stores the moving image data with respect to addresses before and after a storage area of the still image data.   The recording means increments the read address of the still image data stored in the storage area of the still image data in the memory and the moving image data stored at addresses before and after the storage area of the still image data. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the image pickup apparatus continuously reads out and records on the recording medium.   The recording unit records the moving image data and still image data on the recording medium in units of a predetermined amount of data, and the memory control unit stores an address after the recording region of the still image data. The imaging apparatus according to claim 3, wherein a storage start address when storing the moving image data is determined based on the predetermined data amount.   The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising management information generating means for generating management information indicating recording positions of moving image data and still image data recorded on the recording medium.   The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the memory control unit prohibits storage of the still image data in the memory when a storable capacity of the memory is not sufficient.   The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the memory control unit stores the moving image data by cyclically specifying an address of the memory. Imaging process;
A still image processing step of generating still image data using the moving image data output from the imaging step;
A storage step of storing the moving image data and the still image data in a memory;
In the storing step, a storage area for the still image data is preset in the memory, the still image data generated during shooting of the moving image data is stored in the storage area for the still image data, and the moving image A memory control step of controlling a storage operation of the moving image data and still image data for the memory so as to store data in an area other than the storage area of the still image data;
A method for controlling an imaging apparatus, comprising: a recording step of reading out moving image data and still image data stored in the memory and recording the data on a recording medium.
