Patent ID: 8005341

Claim:
An image recording apparatus comprising: a conversion device that converts an optical image of a subject to an electrical signal; a recording circuit that records the electrical signal achieved through a conversion performed by said conversion device in a storage device as image data; a first detection circuit that detects a remaining recording time of said storage device; a power supply circuit that supplies an electric power to each part of said image recording apparatus; a second detection circuit that detects a remaining power supply time of said power supply circuit; a comparison circuit that compares the remaining recording time detected by said first detection circuit and the remaining power supply time detected by said second detection circuit; and a display circuit that displays the remaining recording time or the remaining power supply time in accordance with a comparison result of said comparison circuit, said display circuit displaying the remaining power supply time when the remaining recording time is longer than the remaining power supply time, and said display circuit displaying the remaining recording time when the remaining power supply time is longer than the remaining recording time.
