Abstract
Abstract An electronic still camera in which as a recording medium, for example, at least either one of a semiconductor memory (40), an optical memory (36), and a magnetic memory (58) is selected so as to record a video signal therein. Through the selection of the recording medium (40, 36, 58), it is possible to desirably set the recording speed and the recording capacity.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
An electronic still camera for shooting an object field so as to record a still picture thereof on a recording medium (40, 36, 58) comprising; imaging means (12) for shooting an object field; CHARACTERIZED BY signal accumulate means (18) for temporarily accumulating a video signal produced from said imaging means (12) and being capable of effecting read operations at different speeds; and output select means (24) for delivering the video signal read from said signal accumulate means (18) to a plurality of recording media (40, 36, 58) having different recording speeds; said output select means (24) selecting at least one of said recording media (40, 36, 58) so as to supply the video signal read from said signal accumulate means (18) to the selected recording medium (40, 36, 58).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
129 words
An electronic still camera for shooting an object field so as to record a still picture thereof on a recording medium (40, 36, 58) comprising; imaging means (12) for shooting an object field; CHARACTERIZED BY signal accumulate means (18) for temporarily accumulating a video signal produced from said imaging means (12) and being capable of effecting read operations at different speeds; and output select means (24) for delivering the video signal read from said signal accumulate means (18) to a plurality of recording media (40, 36, 58) having different recording speeds; said output select means (24) selecting at least one of said recording media (40, 36, 58) so as to supply the video signal read from said signal accumulate means (18) to the selected recording medium (40, 36, 58).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
91 words
An electronic still camera in accordance with claim 1, CHARACTERIZED IN THAT said electronic still camera further comprises signal processing means (14) for processing a video signal produced in response to a shooting operation of said imaging means (12) and associated with a filter array of said imaging means (12) and for generating color component signals to be recorded on the recording medium (40, 36, 58); said output select means (24) delivering to the selected recording medium (40, 36, 58) the color component signals processed by said signal processing means (14).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
70 words
An electronic still camera in accordance with claim 2, CHARACTERIZED IN THAT said electronic still camera further comprises matrix means (14) for converting into a luminance signal and color difference signals the color component signals processed by said signal processing means (14); said output select means (24) delivering to the selected recording medium (40, 36, 58) the luminance signal and the color difference signals converted by said matrix means (14).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
77 words
An electronic still camera in accordance with claim 1, CHARACTERIZED IN THAT said electronic still camera further comprises filter array data output means (26) for delivering data of a filter array of said imaging means (12); said output select means (24) supplying the selected recording medium (40, 36, 58) with the data of said filter array fed from said filter array data output means (26) together with the video signal read from said signal accumulate means (18).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
72 words
An electronic still camera in accordance with claim 1, CHARACTERIZED IN THAT said plurality of recording media (40, 36, 58) include a first recording medium (40) for recording the still image signal by use of semiconductor recording means, a second recording medium (36) for recording the still image signal by use of optical recording means, and a third reocrding medium (58) for recording the still image by use of magnetic recording means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
An electronic still camera in accordance with claim 5, CHARACTERIZED IN THAT said electronic still camera further comprises said first recording medium (40) therein; said second and third recording media (36, 58) being detachably mounted on said camera.
