Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a video camera with a still camera having video camera means for shooting and recording moving images and still camera means for shooting and recording still images.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, at an event such as an athletic meet or an arts and crafts event, while a moving image is recorded on a recording medium such as a magnetic tape by using a video camera, a still image is recorded by using a silver salt film or the like. Sometimes I want to take a picture with a still camera that records.

In addition, it is troublesome to carry both the video camera and the still camera separately when traveling, and a video camera with a still camera that integrates the video camera and the still camera is available. Various proposals have been made.

For example, in US Pat. No. 3,546,375, a movable mirror is arranged in the optical path of a photographing objective lens,
It is disclosed that a still image and a moving image can be recorded on different recording media by selectively switching the position of the movable mirror.

In Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-96444, there is disclosed a video camera body in which an optical image pickup unit for photographing on a silver salt film is provided integrally or separately as a detachable body. Has been done. Furthermore, JP-A-1-
Japanese Patent No. 185533 discloses a compound camera with a confirmation function, which displays an image signal from a photoelectric conversion image pickup device corresponding to an image formed on a silver salt film on a monitor.

[0006]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, the operability is prevented from being complicated by originally integrating the apparatus for separately handling the moving image and the still image, and the user intends to do so easily. It did not give a sufficient solution to be able to shoot.

Here, by displaying an image using an image pickup device for shooting a moving image, a circuit for signal processing, etc., a so-called pre-post check is performed to confirm a state before or after a still image is recorded. Can be done.

The electronic camera described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-251381 discloses a solid-state image pickup element on which an object image from an optical system is formed, and an image formed on the solid-state image pickup element so as to be visible in a viewfinder. And an optical display device for electro-optically displaying the formed image. According to this, the content can be confirmed before the shooting, and there is an effect that there is no failure in shooting.

On the other hand, in spite of such an effect, when a pre-post confirmation is to be performed by a video camera with a still camera capable of taking a still image and a moving image with a single device, the following occurs. There was a flaw.

If an attempt is made to make a preliminary check of a still image during the shooting of a moving image, the display of the moving image disappears while the still image is displayed, and the shooting of the moving image cannot be monitored. That is, the time to be displayed must be a sufficient time for confirmation in order to confirm beforehand the state in which a still image is captured. However, the longer this time is, the more it becomes impossible to monitor the shooting state of the videos that are being shot at the same time, resulting in camera shake or unintended composition.

Further, when the moving image information and the still image information used in the preliminary confirmation are displayed simultaneously on one image display means,
The display means installed in the device has a limited size,
In addition, the resolution of the display means is often worse than that of photographic prints, etc., so liquid crystal display boards and cathode ray tubes are often used.
In particular, there is a problem in that still image information is displayed in a small area, and for example, the face or facial expression of the person who should be photographed or who was photographed cannot be grasped.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and prevents problems caused by performing pre-confirmation and post-confirmation of a still image during recording of the moving image, and the situation of recording the moving image. It is an object of the present invention to provide a video camera with a still camera that can perform both the confirmation and the pre-confirmation / post-confirmation of a still image with one display means.

[0013]

Therefore, the video camera with a still camera according to the present invention comprises: (1) video camera means for recording moving image information in a first recording medium; and second still image information for still image information. Still camera means for recording on a recording medium, display means for displaying moving images by the video camera means and still images by the still camera means, control means for controlling the respective means, and user operation for shooting and recording. A video camera with a still camera, comprising: an operation unit for operating the display unit, wherein the display unit temporarily displays an image immediately before being recorded by the still camera unit and a temporary confirmation display of the image recorded by the still camera unit. The control means has a function of performing a post-confirmation display, and the control means displays the pre-confirmation display and the post-confirmation display on the display means while the video camera means is recording. The present invention is intended to achieve the above-mentioned object by a configuration characterized by performing control so as to display a moving image during shooting and recording without performing confirmation display.

(2) In the above structure, the control means does not perform the preliminary confirmation display and the post confirmation display on the display means while recording by the video camera means, and stops the photographing and recording by the video camera means. The configuration is characterized in that the display means is controlled so as to perform a pre-confirmation display and a post-confirmation display later to achieve the above object.

(3) The video camera means, the still camera means, the display means, the control means, the display means for displaying the moving image by the video camera means and the still image by the still camera means, and each of the above. Control means for controlling the means, and operation means for the user to operate shooting recording, the display means has a function capable of performing the pre-confirmation display and the post-confirmation display, and by the video camera means When performing the pre-confirmation display or the post-confirmation display during recording, the control means continues the display of the recorded image by the video camera means on a part of the display surface of the display means and displays a display surface wider than the recorded image. It is an object of the present invention to achieve the above-mentioned object by a configuration characterized in that a part is controlled to perform the pre-confirmation display or the post-confirmation display.

[0016]

With the configuration of (1) above, while the moving image information is being recorded by the video camera means, the pre-confirmation display and the post-confirmation display are not performed on the display means, and the display of the moving image during recording is continued. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the recording of moving image information from being hindered.

With the configuration of (2) above, after the recording of the moving image information is stopped, the recording is performed by the still camera means because the pre-confirmation display and the post-confirmation display are performed on the display means, so that a still image is taken. You can check the image.

Further, according to the configuration of (3), the recorded image by the video camera means is continuously displayed on a part of the display surface of the display means, and the pre-confirmation display or the post-confirmation display is performed on the display surface portion wider than the recorded image. Therefore, recording by the still camera means can be easily performed while continuing recording by the video camera means.
