Abstract
A film reading image device includes a data generation device to generate index display setting field data by receiving output from an image reading device. The film reading image device further includes a size data obtaining device to obtain size data of the monitor screen of the host apparatus and a control device to set the reading resolution based on the relationship between the number of frames to be index displayed on the monitor screen of the host apparatus and the size data obtained. The image reading device executes conversion operations with the resolution set.
Claims20
