Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an imaging device including a video camera and a video tape recorder (hereinafter referred to as VTR) for recording the imaging output thereof. F
When starting shooting after entering the efFe state,
The structure is such that the next screen can be recorded with good continuity with the previously recorded screen.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional imaging device has a configuration as shown in FIG. . Here, the signal is converted into an NTSC signal, distributed to the video amplification section 8 and the synchronous separation section 9, and from the synchronous separation section 9 to the deflection circuit section 1o.
Then, the image at the time of photographing is formed on the monitor device 11 by signals from the image amplifying section 8 and the deflection circuit section 1°.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, for example, when shooting a subject, if shooting is paused and then trying to start shooting again, it is difficult to connect the cane shooting state immediately before stopping, and the screen When checking to maintain the continuity of a disc, it is necessary to perform complicated operations such as rewinding a magnetic recording/reproducing device (such as a VTR) and then replaying the disc. Furthermore, due to the above operation, the magnetic recording/reproducing device also has the problem that the recording start position shifts due to the positional movement of the magnetic recording medium, resulting in overwriting of the recorded area and erroneous creation of the unrecorded area during re-recording. Ta.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides that when changing from a paused state of photographing a subject to a re-photographing state, an image immediately before the photographing pause, which is stored in advance in an image memory, and a real-time image of the subject are used. The present invention provides an imaging device which can selectively or superimpose each image and monitor the images by switching the images, and which can take images without losing continuity of the screen even when they are connected.

Means for Solving the Problems The imaging apparatus of the present invention stores at least one of the video signal stored in a memory section that stores at least one field of the video signal from the imaging section, and the video signal from the imaging section. It is characterized by having a switching section that selectively outputs the output.

Operation According to the above configuration, by storing the image at the time of pausing the shooting in the image memory in the memory section, the image from the memory and the real-time video can be selected or superimposed at the time of starting re-shooting after the pausing of the shooting. It can be viewed using a finder device, and the continuity of the screen can be maintained when connecting.

EXAMPLES Below, an imaging apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, optical information passing through an optical system section 1 is converted into an electrical signal by an image sensor section 2, and converted into an NTSC signal by a video signal processing section 3. The NTSC signal is passed through a first circuit 5 that passes through a memory section 4 made of a semiconductor memory device or the like that stores at least one field of video signal to a switching section 7, and the NTSC signal is passed through a video signal processing section 3. The second
It has a circuit 6.

Here, when the output of the first circuit 5 is selected by the switching unit 7, the video at the time of pause in shooting stored in the memory unit 4 is output from the switching unit 7, and is synchronously separated from the video amplifying unit 8. The signal that has passed through the synchronization separation section 9 is input to the deflection circuit 10. An image during a pause is formed on the monitor part 11 by signals from the image amplification section 8 and the deflection circuit section 10.

Furthermore, when the second circuit 6 is selected by the switching unit 7, the real-time video from the video signal processing unit 3 is the same as above (・
image is formed on the monitor device.

Furthermore, when the switching device 7 superimposes and outputs the signals of the first circuit and the second circuit, the monitor device 11 can display the video at the time of pause and the video in real time superimposed at the same time. It is possible to compare both images very easily.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the uninvented imaging device, when starting re-shooting after the shooting is paused, the image 9 at the time of the shooting pause is stored in the memory section in the image memory, so that the image can be read from the memory. You can select or superimpose images and real-time video and view them on the finder device, and you can view the video when shooting is paused without moving the magnetic recording medium such as a magnetic recording/playback device. This is an advantageous effect in that it is extremely easy to maintain the continuity of the screen over time.
