Patent ID: 7623158

Claim:
An image sensing apparatus for recording image data image-sensed by image sensing means onto a prescribed storage medium, comprising: moving image recording means for generating, with each piece of image data obtained as a result of sequential image-sensing by the image sensing means in accordance with a prescribed frame rate as frame data of a moving image, a moving image file on the storage medium by writing each piece of frame data and an offset value showing a storage address of each frame to the storage medium; judging means for judging whether still image recording has been instructed during the moving image recording by the moving image recording means; still image recording means for interrupting the moving image recording by the moving image recording means if it is judged by the judging means that still image recording has been instructed, and storing onto the storage medium a still image file with image data obtained by the image sensing means as a still image; adjusting means for generating a pseudo moving image frame from still image data obtained by the still image recording means and storing the generated pseudo moving image frame as part of the moving image file, and adjusting an offset of each missing frame that is not shot during a time period from when still image shooting by the still image recording means is started until when the still image file is stored onto the storage medium, so that the missing frame points to the pseudo moving image frame; and resuming means for resuming the moving image recording by the moving image recording means after the adjustment by the adjusting means.
