Communication apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium

A method of controlling a communication apparatus comprising:

• obtaining information of a plurality of image data files from a first external apparatus storing the plurality of image data files using at least one of a plurality of storage mediums;
• performing display control to display at least a portion of the information of the plurality of image data files on a display device;
• selecting at least one image data file from the information of the plurality of image data files displayed on the display device;
• obtaining an image data file selected by the selecting from the first external apparatus;
• transferring the obtained image data file to a second external apparatus different from the first external apparatus,
• wherein the display control determines, from among the plurality of storage mediums, a storage medium on which information about the image data files is to be preferentially displayed on the display device based on whether the first external apparatus is a type that primarily captures still images or a type that primarily captures moving images.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as each unit of the communication apparatus comprising:

• a first obtaining unit configured to obtain information of a plurality of image data files from a first external apparatus storing the plurality of image data files using at least one of a plurality of storage mediums;
• a display control unit configured to display at least a portion of the information of the plurality of image data files on a display device;
• a selecting unit configured to select at least one image data file from the information of the plurality of image data files displayed on the display device;
• a second obtaining unit configured to obtain an image data file selected by the selecting unit from the first external apparatus;
• and
• a transferring unit configured to transfer the obtained image data file to a second external apparatus different from the first external apparatus,
• wherein if the first external apparatus has recorded image data on only one storage medium, the display control unit selects the only one storage medium on which the plurality of image data files are recorded as the target for displaying information about the image data files, and
• wherein if the first external apparatus has recorded the plurality of image data files on multiple storage media, the display control unit determines a storage medium on which information about the image data files is to be preferentially displayed on the display device based on whether the first external apparatus is a type that primarily captures still images or a type that primarily captures moving images.
