Abstract:
1. An image capturing device comprising: an image capturing unit for capturing a subject image to obtain an image signal; a delay unit for delaying the image signal obtained by the image capturing unit for a first period of time; a first moving picture data generating unit for generating first moving picture data based on the image signal delayed by the delay unit; a trigger signal generating unit for causing a trigger signal to be generated, every time a predetermined trigger condition is met, while the first moving picture data generating unit is generating the first moving picture data; a second moving picture data generating unit for generating second moving picture data by performing, every time the trigger signal is generated, a process in which (i) generating the second moving picture data based on the image signal delayed by the delay unit is commenced when the trigger signal is generated and (ii) generating the second moving picture data is suspended after a lapse of a second period of time from the commencement of generating the moving picture data; and a recording unit for effecting recording of the first moving picture data and the second moving picture data in long term storage.
