The input selection unit selects a smaller one of a motion total obtained by adding a motion residual and a value into which a motion vector is coded and an intra picture total obtained by adding an intra picture residual and a value into which a prediction mode is coded. The device further includes an I_PCM judgment unit comparing a cost with a first threshold value. Additionally, the device includes an output selection unit selecting coded data obtained by arithmetic coding as data to be outputted to the outside if the cost is equal to or less than the first threshold value and selecting I_PCM data as the data to be outputted to the outside if the cost is larger than the first threshold value.

    摘要: A device is provided for taking high resolution still pictures while recording video without pausing video recording. Plural channels are provided for reaching pixel values from a CMOS sensor, and the output of each channel is input to a corresponding A/D conversion circuit. The channels are configured so that the pixels that are added together are read simultaneously. The data added by the pixel value adder is used as the video data for video recording. When a still picture is captured during video recording, the pixel data is stored in memory with capacity to store one frame, and is sequentially output from the image sensor as the still picture data.
