Abstract
A digital still camera using a progressive image sensor includes an image sensor for capturing images and for generating image signals corresponding to the images, an image processor for generating image data corresponding to the image signals from the image sensor, and a memory for storing the image data from the image processor line by line. The invention further includes an image compression/decompression unit for compressing the image data and for decompressing the compressed image data, and a controller for controlling the image sensor, the image processor, and the image compression/decompression unit. Since the digital still camera uses a progressive image sensor which simultaneously generates analog image signals corresponding to an entire image, frame memories are not necessary for storing images.
