consumption of said converting means regardless of a
given manual operation of said operation member after
said recording means records the signal to be recorded
on all of the predetermined recordable capacity of the
recording medium substantially.
Independent claim 33 recites
second control means for stopping the recording
operation of the recording means after substantially
all memory capacity of the memory for the picture image
has been used by the recording of the picture image
from the pickup means, and controlling the pickup means
so as to reduce power consumption thereof despite a new
operation of the operation member.
We note that the corresponding structure of this means is found
on page 37 of Appellants’ specification and also figure 9. In
particular, on page 37, Appellants’ specification states that
the number of recording tracks that have been recorded
in this manner is indicated on the track number
indicating graduation plate 75 by the pointer 73 which
is attached to the fore end of the counting member 72
which is shown in Fig. 9. Upon completion of recording
on the innermost track of the disc 11, when the heads
15A and 153 are automatically shifted, the protrusion
76 provided on the fore end of the counting member 72
comes to open the end switch SWE and power supply to
the whole circuit system is cut off.
