Abstract

See full text

A CCD digital camera used for storing an image of an object has an imaging device for receiving an image of the object and for generating a digital signal corresponding to the image. A memory stores a predetermined portion of the digital signal, which is less than all of the digital signal, generated by the imaging device. A controller controls the transfer of the predetermined portion of the digital signal from the imaging device to the memory. A data compression unit compresses the predetermined portion of the digital signal stored in the memory and outputs a compressed signal corresponding to the predetermined portion of the digital signal to a storage device which stores the compressed digital signal. The controller inhibits transfer of a subsequent predetermined portion of the digital signal to the memory, until all of the predetermined portion of the digital signal has been compressed by the data compression unit and stored in the storage device.
