Patent ID: 8849090

Claim:
An image capturing apparatus, comprising: record medium control circuit (a) recording captured image data, obtained at a first screen rate from a solid state image capturing device via a conversion device, to a record medium and (b) reading the captured image data at a second screen rate, which is lower than the first screen rate, from the record medium; the conversion device, during recording, converting the captured image data, obtained at the first screen rate from the solid state image capturing device, into the captured image data having the second screen rate only when an image signal is to be output to a display processing circuit of the image capturing apparatus for display; and the conversion device, during reproducing, outputting the captured image data obtained at the second screen rate, which is lower than the first screen rate, from the record medium control circuit when the image signal is to be output to the display processing circuit; camera signal processing circuit processing circuit performing a camera signal process for the captured image data having the second screen rate obtained from the conversion device during recording and obtained from the record medium control circuit by way of the conversion device during reproduction; and the display processing circuit generating the image signal to be displayed from an image signal obtained from the camera signal processing circuit.
