Claim One:
1. A system including an electronic camera for electronically storing an image of an object, and an apparatus for reproducing the object image stored in the electronic camera, (a) said electronic camera comprising: (i) pickup means for performing a horizontal scanning operation with respect to said object image to divide said object image into a given number of picture elements and to generate an output signal indicative of each picture element of said object image, (ii) coding means for coding the output signals of said pickup means and generating coded signals, (iii) first decoding means for decoding one of said coded signals corresponding to an output signal of said pickup means indicative of a final picture element in one of a plurality of horizontal scanning lines formed by said horizontal scanning operation performed by said pickup means and generating at least one first decoded signal, (iv) a first storage means, and (v) means for writing said coded signals and said at least one first decoded signal into said first storage means, and (b) said reproducing apparatus comprising: (i) means for reading said coded signals and said at least one first decoded signal from said first storage means, (ii) second decoding means for decoding said read coded signals and generating second decoded signals, and (iii) comparison means for comparing said at least one first decoded signal with one of said second decoded signals which corresponds to said final picture element in said one of said plurality of horizontal scanning lines.
