Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain simultaneous monitor of a moving image and a reproduced image by displaying a video image of a camera on one monitor and displaying the video image of the camera or a special video image such as a reproduced image and a still image on another monitor. SOLUTION: A signal from a camera section 1, a signal from a memory 15 storing the signal from the camera section 1, and a reproduction signal from a video head 2 amplified by an amplifier 3 are inputted to a luminance color signal processing circuit 4. The camera signal and the signal through the memory 15 are subjected to prescribed processing and inputted to a recording signal processing circuit 7. A switch 17 selects the camera signal 5, a memory signal 16 and the reproduction signal 6 and provides an output of the selected signal to a liquid crystal monitor 12 and a switch 18 selects the camera signal 5, the memory signal 16 and the reproduction signal 6 and provides an output of the selected signal to an EVF 13. Simultaneous monitor of a moving image and a reproduced image is attained by displaying the camera image a special video image such as the reproduced image and the still image on a plurality of the monitors.

In the conventional system, in a camera recording standby mode, a reproduction start point is searched for by looking at a reproduced image of a recorded section, or a reproduction is performed in a camera recording standby mode to determine whether or not recording has been performed as desired. In such a case, the camera image cannot be seen. Also,
Even when a special image such as a still image is recorded using a digital function, the moving image of the camera cannot be seen while the special image is displayed on the monitor. In this system,
While special images such as playback images and still images are displayed on the monitor, the camera images cannot be viewed, and during that time, the camera cannot be adjusted, such as adjusting the zoom position or focusing, and the playback images and still images cannot be viewed. In some cases, the photographer missed the chance to take a picture without quickly entering the camera after the picture was taken.
