display and records the same on a recording disk 20. When the
switch is depressed again, operation of the camera returns to
that of displaying on a monitor the new images formed.
(Column 4, lines 1-30). In column 3, lines 40-48, Kinoshita
describes:
An FM demodulator 24 demodulates an FM
reproduction signal supplied from the
recording/reproduction amplifier 22. An analog
image signal output from the FM demodulator 24 is
supplied to the camera signal processing circuit 5
of the image pickup section 1. Therefore, the
signal reproduced from the recording disk 20 can be
displayed on the monitor 10 in the same manner as an
image signal from the image pickup element 4.
(Emphasis added.)
Thus, it is evident that Kinoshita does contemplate the
reproduction of the recorded image on a monitor, even in the
case of its first disclosed embodiment. How reproduction of
the recorded image is triggered, however, is not specifically
discussed. It is not known which switch is acted on to
provide reproduction of the recorded image data, although it
is apparent that the recording/reproduction amplifier 22 is
involved. For instance, in column 3, lines 33-36, Kinoshita
states: “A recording/reproduction amplifier 22 is used to
amplify a signal when the signal is to be recorded on the
magnetic disk 20 or when a signal described later is
