Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable fast reproduction of image information in the order of date by dividing area in terms of time information such as date, time and the like in a recording medium for recording or reproducing still images taken by an electronic camera to physically classify and record the image information on the recording medium in terms of date information recorded together with the image information during the recording period. SOLUTION: In an electronic camera 5, an image signal taken is converted into a digital signal by an A/D conversion to make it correspond to date information from a built-in timepiece part and stored into a memory section to be transferred into an electronic album body 1 afterward. A recording medium 4 set on the electronic album body 1 is so arranged to form six areas diametrically divided in terms of year and the areas are further divided into twelve sections allotted to months. As for image information transferred from the electronic camera 5, locations for recording in the recording medium 4 in terms of the date information attached to it and information to the specified date is recorded sequentially. Thus, in reproduction, it suffices to rearrange day of the week in the display in the order of date thereby preventing significant delay in reproduction time.

On the other hand, the recording area of the recording medium 4 set in the electronic album 1 is divided by date and time as shown in FIG. For example, in the example of FIG. 3, six regions are formed in the radial direction, and the regions are classified by year. It is further divided into 12 and each month is assigned. In this way, the area is divided, and the place where the video information transferred from the electronic camera 5 is recorded is determined based on the date and time information attached thereto. With such a recording method,
At least the information up to what year and month is recorded sequentially. When the information is displayed in the order of date and time at the time of reproduction, it is sufficient to rearrange only the date at most, and the reproduction time is not greatly delayed.
