Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an encoding unit encoding an input motion image signal, a recording unit recording encoded motion image data on a recording medium, a complexity detection unit detecting complexity of a motion image according to the input motion image data, a remaining amount detection unit detecting a remaining recording capacity of the recording medium, and a control unit having a first mode for controlling the encoding unit based on information of the complexity detected by the complexity detection unit so as to adjust a code amount of the encoded motion image data and a second mode for controlling the encoding unit without using the information of the complexity detected by the complexity detection unit so as to adjust the code amount of the encoded motion image data, wherein the control unit switches over the first mode and the second mode on the basis of an output of the remaining amount detection unit.
