Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: an image processor configured to generate movie data based on an image capturing signal that has been generated by an image capturing section; and a controller configured to determine, by reference to information concerning a shooting condition, whether or not to write the generated movie data on a storage medium in accordance with a shooting instruction, wherein the generated movie data includes at least one of first movie data and second movie data; when the generated movie data includes the first movie data, the image processor generates the first movie data before the shooting instruction is issued; when the generated movie data includes the second movie data, the image processor generates the second movie data after the shooting instruction has been issued; the information concerning the shooting condition concerns a shooting condition to be satisfied during shooting with respect to the first movie data and/or a shooting condition to be satisfied during shooting with respect to the second movie data; and the controller calculates an evaluation value based on the information concerning the shooting condition by performing a weighting process according to a shooting time, and determines, based on the evaluation value, whether or not to write at least one of the first and second movie data on the storage medium.
