Abstract: An electronic camera of the present invention includes: an imaging unit capturing a subject to generate an original image; a derivative image generating unit reducing resolution or color of the original image to generate a derivative image for transfer; a recording unit recording the original image and the derivative image thereon such that the original image and the derivative image get associated with each other; and a transfer unit transferring the derivative image recorded on the recording unit to an external transfer destination. In this configuration, the recording unit finds the derivative image (original image) by referring to the association with the original image (or derivative image), thereby collectively managing the original image and the derivative image. This makes it possible to prevent a user from being confused at image management due to the original image and the derivative image being the same image.

Abstract: An electronic camera of the present invention comprises an image pickup part, a microprocessor, and a multi-port memory that has a first port and a second port through which data can be independently accessed. The microprocessor writes the image data to the multi-port memory through the first port. The digital signal processor reads the image data from the multi-port memory through the second port, performs the software signal processing on the image data, and writes the processed data to the multi-port memory through the second port. The microprocessor reads the image data on which the software signal processing has been performed from the multi-port memory through the first port and records the read image data from the multi-port memory on a recording medium that stores data.

Abstract: The invention provides a technique for compression processing according to JPEG 2000 or the like in an electronic camera that evaluates the quality of each of image data groups taken sequentially by an imaging section and records high-rank image data selectively, and in a related image processing program. The quality of an image is evaluated based on: an amount of data in a selection region of ROI coding; an amount of data to a predetermined position of a bit stream; a cutoff position of a bit stream; a signal level of a high-frequency-range sub-band component; or an amount of data of a predetermined tile. This quality evaluation makes it possible to achieve an image selection function that matches the compression processing of JPEG 2000 or the like very well.

Abstract: An electronic camera according to the invention is provided with an imaging unit for generating image data by taking a subject image; a lossless compression unit for generating compressed data by performing substantial lossless compression on the image data; a compression judging unit for judging whether the amount of the losslessly compressed data exceeds a threshold value; and a recording unit for recording the image data uncompressed in a recording medium when the amount of the losslessly compressed data exceeds the threshold value, and for recording the compressed data in the recording unit when the amount does not. In the electronic camera, when the amount of data after lossless compression is unexpectedly large, uncompressed data having a generally stable amount of data is recorded instead of compressed data. This can avoid accidents where shooting results cannot be recorded due to unexpectedly large amount of compressed data.

Abstract: A portion of the capacity of a storage medium is set aside in advance as an adjustment capacity to be utilized in making an adjustment on the extent by which the target code volume is exceeded during a fixed-length compression. A nominal remaining frame quantity calculated by excluding the adjustment capacity from the remaining capacity is indicated as the remaining frame quantity at the storage medium to prevent any irregular change in the number of remaining frames displayed at the electronic camera. In addition, by allowing the compression code volume to exceed the target in correspondence to the excess (the estimated capacity value representing the remaining area) of the remaining capacity, a planned reduction in the remaining area is achieved.
