Patent attributes
A medical image recording device includes an image pickup device generating an image pickup signal by photoelectrically converting light reflected from a subject with use of an image pickup element, wherein an image pickup control unit displays, on a display unit, image data generated for each of frames constituting a video by processing the image pickup signal. A recording control unit records the image data on a memory card. A movement detection unit sequentially compares the image data between the adjacent frames, and calculates an amount of movement of the image pickup device from a positional shift of a main subject between the adjacent frames. If the amount of movement is within a preset range, a camera shake correction unit corrects a blur. If the amount of movement is greater than an upper limit of the range, the recording control unit stops recording of image data on the memory card.
