Abstract:
An image sensing apparatus which has a reproduction function comprising:image sensing means for generating image signals by sequentially reading all the pixels of said image sensing means in non-interlace scanning in one field period; camera signal processing means for generating first image signals and second image signals based on television signal standard; output signal selection means for selecting the first image signals or the second image signals outputted by said camera signal processing means; signal recording means for recording a type signal showing a type of the image signals selected by said output signal selection means in a sub-cord recording area of a recording medium, wherein said type signal indicates whether the image signals are obtained in a field image sensing mode or a frame image sensing mode in which frame images are sensed in every other field period and the first image signals are recorded in a given field period and the second image signals are recorded in the next field period; an interpolation filter for interpolating the image signals between consecutive images sensed at different time; and interpolation filter control means for controlling whether or not to perform interpolation of the image signals using said interpolation filter, wherein, when the type signal recorded in the sub-record recording area indicates the frame image sensing mode, and when the sensed image signals are to be output as a moving image, said interpolation filter control means controls said interpolation filter to perform interpolation of the image signals.
