Claim:
A recording apparatus comprising: recording means for recording a sound or an image on a recording medium; remote control receiving means for receiving a control signal with respect to a main body transmitted from a remote control device in a wireless manner; and control means for controlling an operation of each part of the main body based on the control signal received by the remote control receiving means; wherein, when the remote control receiving means continuously receives any control signal for a first predetermined time during recording by the recording means, the control means controls the recording means to repeatedly record a predetermined image on the recording medium, such that the same image is continuously reproduced for a second predetermined time when reproducing, when the remote control receiving means receives any control signal during non-recording by the recording means, the control means controls an operation of the main body based on the control signal, without judging whether or not the control signal is continuously received for the first predetermined time, and when the remote control receiving means continuously receives any control signal for the first predetermined time, the control means allows an image received by the main body at that time to be repeatedly recorded on the recording medium.
