Abstract:
1. An image recording apparatus recording motion picture data generated by motion picture photography and still image data generated by still photography, the image recording apparatus comprising: a management time adding unit that adds frame image display management times to temporally continuous multiple pieces of frame image data in the motion picture data generated by the motion picture photography, each of the frame image display management times being used for displaying and managing a frame image based on the frame image data; a management time detecting unit that detects the frame image display management time added to the piece of the frame image data generated by the still photography as a still image display management time for displaying and managing a still image based on the still image data generated by the still photography if the still photography is performed during the motion picture photography; a presence indication data generating unit that generates presence indication data indicating that the still image data generated by the still photography during the motion picture photography exists on the basis of the still image display management time; a multiplexing unit that sequentially acquires the motion picture data in which the frame image display management times are added to the pieces of the frame image data in predetermined units to output the acquired motion picture data as recording data while only the motion picture photography is performed and that performs time division multiplexing to the presence indication data in predetermined units and the motion picture data in predetermined units while sequentially acquiring the presence indication data in the predetermined units and sequentially acquiring the motion picture data in the predetermined units to output the presence indication data and the motion picture data subjected to the time division multiplexing as the recording data if the still photography is performed during the motion picture photography; and a recording unit that records the recording data on a recording medium.
