METHOD OF CONTROLLING DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS WHEREIN STILL IMAGES ARE EFFICIENTLY CAPTURED FROM MOVING IMAGE, AND DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS ADOPTING THE METHOD

摘要

A method of controlling a digital image processing apparatus, capable of efficiently capturing still images from a moving picture, and a digital image processing apparatus adopting the method are provided to store only a beginning address and data size of a captured frame while reproducing a moving picture, thereby conveniently capturing and storing a plurality of still images. A moving picture is reproduced. When a captured signal by a user is generated, a beginning address and data size of a captured frame are stored at a time when a capturing signal is generated(S505,S507). When the reproduction of the moving picture is stopped, still images of captured frames are detected and stored according to the beginning address and data size of the captured frames(S511,S519). The reproduction of the moving picture is continually performed even though the capturing signal is generated.
