DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above problems.
More specifically, it is an object of the present invention to provide a solid-state camera capable of automatically checking whether photographing can be performed and performing a necessary display or warning.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a solid-state camera capable of automatically coping with different types of memory device of a solid-state memory apparatus.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a solid-state memory apparatus for use in the above solid-state camera, which does not prevent an increase in memory capacity even when its size is standardized.
A solid-state camera according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises loading detecting means for detecting loading of detachable image storing means, checking means for checking a detection output from the loading detecting means and the loaded image storing means, and control means for performing control of each section which includes predetermined display control in accordance with a check result of the check means.
The above solid-state camera can automatically detect whether the image storing means can be used.
Therefore, in accordance with a detection result, the necessary warning or any other display is performed, and control such as photographing prohibition is performed, thereby improving operability and feel of use.
A solid-state camera according to another embodiment of the present invention is an apparatus for recording information in a detachable solid-state memory apparatus, comprising detecting means for detecting specification information of a loaded solid-state memory apparatus, wherein the access timing of the solid-state memory apparatus is controlled in accordance with detection information of the detecting means.
Upon recording, the solid-state camera performs transfer to the solid-state memory apparatus at an access timing corresponding to a memory device of the solid-state memory apparatus
