Claims
- 1. An electronic still camera comprising:photographing means for photographing a photographed object and outputting image data; image data coding means for coding the image data; means for recording the coded image data to a recording medium; means for converting a sound to an electric signal; means for coding sound data converted to the electric signal; means for recording the coded sound data to the recording medium; means for transferring incompressible image data to a recording medium interface section; and means for generating a code showing image synchronization and inserting this code into the imcompressible image data, wherein a transmitted data bus width in the imconpressible image data transfer means is constructed by 16 bits composed of 8 bits for a brightness signal and the remaining 8 bits for a subsampled color difference signal.
- 2. An electronic still camera as claimed in claim 1, wherein the incompressible image data transfer means has means for inserting sound data compressed in a time axis direction into the incompressible image data for an image blanking period.
- 3. An electronic still camera as claimed in claim 1, wherein the incompressible image data transfer means has means for generating and inserting a code showing a field number or a frame number of an image into the incompressible image data for an image blanking period.
- 4. An electronic still camera as claimed in claim 1, wherein the incompressible image data transfer means has means for generating and inserting status information and control commands transmitted to a device connected to the recording medium interface into the incompressible image data for an image blanking period.
- 5. An electronic still camera comprising:photographing means for photographing a photographed object and outputting image data; image data coding means for coding the image data; means for recording the coded image data to a recording medium; means for converting a sound to an electric signal; means for coding sound data converted to the electric signal; means for recording the coded sound data to the recording medium; means for transferring incompressible image data to a recording medium interface section; and means for generating a code showing image synchronization and inserting this code into the incompressible image data, wherein a transmitted data bus width in the incompressible image data transfer means is constructed by 16 bits composed of N bits for image data and the remaining bits for sound data, where N is a positive integer.
- 6. An electronic still camera as claimed in claim 5, wherein the incompressible image data transfer means has means for inserting sound data compressed in a time axis direction into the incompressible image data for an image blanking period.
- 7. An electronic still camera as claimed in claim 5, wherein the incompressible image data transfer means has means for generating and inserting a code showing a field number or a frame number of an image into the incompressible image data for an image blanking period.
- 8. An electronic still camera as claimed in claim 5, wherein the incompressible image data transfer means has means for generating and inserting status information and control commands transmitted to a device connected to the recording medium interface into the incompressible image data for an image blanking period.
