Abstract

In the case where images photographed by a digital camera or the like are recorded in a recording medium at a predetermined resolution or compression rate upon photographing and the data representing the image are re-recorded therein after being read and resolution-converted or re-compressed, a target of re-recording can be specified by a simple operation and damage due an erroneous input can be minimized. A function is provided for setting accompanying information such as necessity of printing an image when the image is being replayed in a replay mode, for example. The information having been set is described in a tag of an image file and recorded together with the image. When a user shifts a mode to a re-recording execution mode, necessity of re-recording is judged based on the stored information having been set. A re-recording target image file is then read from a memory card and re-recorded therein after a resolution conversion or compression processing carried out on the image data.
