ABSTRACT:
A camcorder having a still image reproducing circuit and a method for reproducing a still image are provided. The circuit includes an image pickup means for generating an image pickup signal in accordance with incident light; a hand-quiver compensating means for converting the image pickup signal into a digital signal to store temporarily the converted signal, for reading the stored digital signal, and for converting the read signal into an analog signal, thereby compensating for operator hand-quiver; a reproducing means for reproducing a video signal from a recording medium and outputting synthesized luminance and chrominance signals; a decoder for decoding the luminance and chrominance signals from the reproducing means and generating difference signals; a first switch for selecting an output signal from one of the image pickup means and the decoder, and for outputting the selected signal to the hand-quiver compensating means; and a second switch for selecting an output signal from one of the hand-quiver compensating means and the reproducing means, and for outputting the selected signal through an output terminal. Accordingly, a clean still image can be reproduced with a cost-effective circuit.
