ABSTRACT:
An apparatus including an image pick-up device, a data storage controlling arrangement, a main memory, a mass storage device, and a manipulation size setting unit. The image pick-up device picks up images to produce image data and stores the same into a frame buffer. The main memory offers rapid access but low storage capacity and stores the image data supplied from the frame buffer. The mass storage device is capable of holding a vast amount of memory but cannot be accessed very quickly. It also stores the image data supplied from the frame buffer. The manipulation size setting unit sets a mask region and a frame rate both of which are necessary for storing the image data into the mass storage device. The data storage controlling arrangement controls storage of the image data, in which the image data is stored in the mass storage device when the same is capable of storing the image data at an inherent frame rate larger than or equal to the set frame rate, and in which the image data is stored in the main memory when the inherent frame rate is smaller than the set frame rate.
