Abstract

A medical image recording/playback device includes an image pickup device. In an image pickup device that generates an image pickup signal by photoelectrically converting light reflected from a subject through an image pickup element, an image pickup control unit displays, on a display unit, image data that is generated for each of frames that constitute a video by processing the image pickup signal, and records the image data on a memory card. When the video is played, an image shift detection unit sequentially compares image data between consecutive or adjacent frames read from the memory card, and detects an amount of positional shift of a main subject between the frames. If the amount of positional shift is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, displaying of the image data read from the memory card is stopped.
