A device for controlling a recording operation of a still video camera includes a plurality of slot units, with a recording medium mounted in each of the plurality of slot units. A power supply circuit applies a voltage to the plurality of slot units to record an image signal to the recording medium through the plurality of slot units. A mechanism detects a remaining capacity of a recording medium to which an image signal is being recorded by one of the plurality of slot units. A control circuit controls the power supply circuit in such a manner than, when the remaining capacity reaches a predetermined amount while an image signal is being recorded through one of the plurality of slot units, a voltage is applied to another slot unit through which said image signal is not being recorded.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Therefore, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a recording operation control device in which the same image signal can be recorded in a plurality of recording mediums during a photographing operation, eliminating the need for a dubbing operation after the photographing operation.
According to the present invention, there is provided a recording operation control device comprising recording means and control means.
The recording means records an image signal corresponding to one object in at least one recording medium.
The control means controls the recording means by a single recording operation, when in a single record mode, in which the image signal is recorded in one recording medium, or a plural record mode, in which the image signal is recorded in a plurality of recording mediums.
Further, the recording means has a plurality of slot units in which a recording medium can be mounted.
The recording medium may be any one of: an IC card; a magnetic disk; or, a magneto-optical disk.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a recording operation control device by which the consumption of the power supply in the continuous record mode is reduced during continuous recording operations.
According to the present invention, there is provided a recording operation control device having first and second recording means, applying means, detecting means and control means.
The first and second recording means record, respectively, an image signal in a recording medium.
The first and second recording means can record the image signal when a voltage is applied thereto.
The applying means applies a voltage to the first and second recording means.
The detecting means detects the remaining recordable capacity of a recording medium in which an image signal is being recorded by the first or second recording means.
The control means controls the applying means in such a manner that, when the remaining recordable capacity reaches a predetermined amount while the first recording means is recording an image signal, a voltage is applied to the second recording means
