Abstract
In an image sensing and recording apparatus capable of recording image data on plural types of removable recording media, a recording speed of a recording medium for recording image data is recognized, then image sensing modes, including-a single image sensing mode and a sequential image sensing mode, which are set in advance are classified into available image sensing mode and unavailable image sensing mode on the basis of the recognized recording speed. Further, image sensing parameters, including numbers of pixels per frame and frame rates for the sequential image sensing mode, which are set in advance are also classified into available image sensing mode and unavailable image sensing mode on the basis of the recognized recording speed of the recording medium. A user selects and sets desirable image sensing mode among the available image sensing mode or modes and desirable image sensing parameter or parameters among the available image sensing parameter or parameters, then performs an image sensing operation.
