In a video camera configured to record the video signal supplied and captured in the memory as a still image signal on the tape in parallel with the moving image signal, a still image recording switch is configured in a two-stage type and a moving image is formed. The image signal and the still image signal captured by the memory are selectively or simultaneously displayed on the viewfinder, and the image signal is stored in the memory when the still image recording switch is in the half-pressed position. The still image signal captured and displayed in the memory is displayed on the viewfinder, and is stored in the memory when the still image recording switch is fully pressed. A still image signal forme is provided with a control circuit for controlling to record the tape.

モリに取込まれた映像信号はテープに記録されない。Therefore, when the still image recording switch is set to the half-pressed position, the video signal is taken into the memory and the taken-in video signal (still image signal) is displayed on the viewfinder. If the photographer wants the still image displayed on the viewfinder, the photographer fully pushes the still image recording switch. Then, the video signal taken in the memory is recorded on the tape as a still image signal. If the still image displayed on the viewfinder is unintentional, the still image recording switch is returned to the original position. Then, the video signal taken in the memory is not recorded on the tape.
