Abstract:
1. An electronic camera comprising: an image-capturing device that captures an image of a subject and generates a set of first image data corresponding to the image of the subject captured with one exposure operation; an image processing device that performs two-dimensional image processing on the set of the first image data generated by the image-capturing device to generate a set of second image data; and a compression conversion device that performs image compression on the set of the second image data generated by the image processing device, wherein: when a part of the set of the second image data that has undergone the two-dimensional image processing is stored in the image memory, before the two-dimensional image processing by the image processing device is complete, compression of the part of the set of the second image data stored in the image memory starts, so that the two-dimensional image processing performed by the image processing device and the image compression of the second image data stored in the memory are performed in parallel.
