Image pickup apparatus, control method thereof, and recording medium relating to transferring images to an external apparatus

An image pickup apparatus that communicates with an external device, the image pickup apparatus comprising:

• a display;
• and
• a controller configured to perform operations comprising:
• recording images in a recording medium;
• specifying, as a transfer target, an image to be transferred to the external device from among the images recorded in the recording medium;
• controlling transfer of the specified image to the external device;
• and
• displaying, on the display, a predetermined screen for inputting an instruction for restricting deletion of the image specified as the transfer target, wherein the controller displays, on the display, the predetermined screen for receiving input of the instruction even after the image is specified as the transfer target by the specifying,
• wherein, in a case where the instruction for restricting deletion of the image specified as the transfer target is input using the predetermined screen, the controller associates information for restricting the deletion with the image specified as the transfer target after the instruction is input, and
• wherein, in a case where the instruction for restricting the deletion of the image specified as the transfer target is input via the predetermined screen and images previously specified as the transfer target before the instruction is input are present, the controller displays that the images that are previously specified as the transfer target before the instruction is input but not associated with the information for restricting the deletion are present.

A control method of an image pickup apparatus that communicates with an external device, the control method comprising:

• recording images in a recording medium;
• specifying, as a transfer target, an image to be transferred to the external device from among the images recorded in the recording medium;
• transferring the specified image to the external device;
• displaying, on a display, a predetermined screen for inputting an instruction for restricting deletion of the image specified as the transfer target, wherein the predetermined screen for receiving input of the instruction is displayed, on the display, even after the image is specified as the transfer target by the specifying;
• associating, in a case where the instruction for restricting deletion of the image specified as the transfer target is input using the predetermined screen, information for restricting the deletion with the image specified as the transfer target after the instruction is input;
• and
• associating the information for restricting the deletion with images that are previously specified as the transfer target before the instruction is input but not associated with the information for restricting the deletion.

A control method of an image pickup apparatus that communicates with an external device, the control method comprising:

• recording images in a recording medium;
• specifying, as a transfer target, an image to be transferred to the external device from among the images recorded in the recording medium;
• transferring the specified image to the external device;
• displaying, on a display, a predetermined screen for inputting an instruction for restricting deletion of the image specified as the transfer target, wherein the predetermined screen for receiving input of the instruction is displayed, on the display, even after the image is specified as the transfer target by the specifying;
• associating, in a case where the instruction for restricting deletion of the image specified as the transfer target is input using the predetermined screen, information for restricting the deletion with the image specified as the transfer target after the instruction is input;
• and
• displaying, in a case where the instruction for restricting the deletion of the image specified as the transfer target is input via the predetermined screen and images already specified as the transfer target before the instruction is input are present, that the images that are previously specified as the transfer target before the instruction is input but not associated with the information for restricting the deletion are present.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method for an image pickup apparatus that communicates with an external device, the method comprising:

• recording images in a recording medium;
• specifying, as a transfer target, an image to be transferred to the external device from among the images recorded in the recording medium;
• transferring the specified image to the external device;
• displaying, on a display, a predetermined screen for inputting an instruction for restricting deletion of the image specified as the transfer target, wherein the predetermined screen for receiving input of the instruction is displayed, on the display, even after the image is specified as the transfer target by the specifying;
• associating, in a case where the instruction for restricting deletion of the image specified as the transfer target is input via the predetermined screen, information for restricting the deletion with the image specified as the transfer target after the instruction is input;
• and
• associating the information for restricting the deletion with images that are previously specified as the transfer target before the instruction is input but not associated with the information for restricting the deletion.
