Abstract

Image data of one frame stored in a memory is repetitively read a plurality of times as a still image. The read image data is encoded and recorded. In this case, the image data of one frame is divided into a plurality of areas, and the image data is encoded so as to make the image quality of the image data at a particular area be better than that of the image data at the other areas. The particular area in each set of the image data repetitively read is disposed differently. A still image of high quality can be therefore obtained.
