Abstract

A digital still camera capable of telecommunication includes a converting device which converts an optical image into a digital electronic signal indicative of a still image, a memory which stores at least one specific telephone number, a modifying unit which modifies the digital electronic signal indicative of the still image into an electronic signal containing a still image signal generated in accordance with a wireless telephone system, a reducing device which reduces a number of pixels of the still image converted by the converting device to form a still image of fewer pixels contained in the electronic signal, a transmitter which transmits the electronic signal containing the still image signal modified by the modifying unit, and a controller which inhibits the reducing device when the telephone number designating the remote device coincides with the specific telephone number, whereby the reducing device forms a still image signal contained in the electronic signal without reducing the number of pixels of the still image converted by the converting device.
