Abstract:
1. An electronic camera apparatus, comprising: an A/D converting unit obtaining captured image data by A/D converting an image signal that is obtained by capturing an image; a first image data processing unit executing a preprocess for generating image data to be recorded from the captured image data; a second image data processing unit, which is allowed to execute a process in parallel with the preprocess executed by said first image data processing unit, executing a preprocess that includes a filter process and a pixel number conversion process in order to generate image data to be displayed, whose data amount is smaller than the image data to be recorded, from the captured image data; a storing unit temporarily storing, via a common transmission path, both image data, which is obtained by said first image data processing unit and for which the preprocess for generating image data to be recorded is executed, and image data, which is obtained by said second image data processing unit and for which the preprocess for generating image data to be displayed is executed; and a third image data processing unit executing an image process for making recording and a display, which are related to the captured image data, based on the image data to be recorded and the image data to be displayed, which are stored in said storing unit.
