Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a video camera which can execute video recording from the moment a video recording SW is depressed. CONSTITUTION:This camera 1 outputs a picked up video signal, and the outputted video signal is outputted to a VTR 2. In a contact state detecting part 3, whether a photographer's hand comes into contact with a video recording SW or not, and a contact detecting signal is outputted. In a video recording SW state detecting part 4, whether the photographer depresses the video recording SW or not is detected, and a start/stop signal is outputted. In a VTR control part 5, from the contact detecting signal and the start/stop signal, video recording start preparations are executed, in the case the photographer's hand comes into contact with the video recording SW, and the VTR 2 is controlled so that video recording is started from the moment the video recording SW is depressed.
