Patent ID: 7710464

Claim:
An image photographing and recording device comprising: a resolution setting section for setting a resolution at a time of photographing; a frame rate setting section for automatically setting a frame rate based on a resolution at a time of photographing, wherein the higher the resolution is set by the resolution setting section, the lower the frame rate is set; a photographing section repeatedly photographing a scene which is an object of photographing, at the frame rate set by the frame rate setting section as a static image of the resolution set by the resolution setting section; a recording section successively recording static image data, which is successively outputted by photographing by the photographing section, on a recording medium with the static image data in one of a non-compressed state and a state of being compressed by a compression method which does not utilize correlation between frames, and adding frame rate information, which expresses the frame rate at the time of the photographing by the photographing section, to the static image data which is successively recorded on the recording medium; a designating section for designating a static image or a dynamic image which is an object of output; a static image outputting section which, when a static image as the object of output is designated via the designating section, reads-out from the recording medium, static image data corresponding to the static image which is the object of output, and outputs the static image data; and a dynamic image outputting section which, when a dynamic image as the object of output is designated via the designating section, reads-out, from the recording medium, a static image data group corresponding to the dynamic image which is the object of output, and, thereafter, if the frame rate expressed byte frame rate information added to the static image data group which is read-out is lower than a predetermined frame rate, obtains an interpolation processing to generate static image data corresponding to a lacking frame from the static image data of frames before and after the lacking frame in order of the photographing dates and times, and outputs the data as dynamic image data.
