Abstract
Disclosed is a digital still camera for facilitating selection of a result as most intended by a photographer from among one set of photographed image data photographed in autobracket (AB) photographing, and which makes a reproduction device reproduce to reflect the photographer's intention. When recording in a memory card (8) one set of photographed image data photographed in the AB photographing mode, a microcomputer (9) renders the image data photographed in the AB photographing mode distinguishable, while linking the one set of the photographed image data as a series of image data to render this link distinguishable.

A digital still camera comprising:
- optoelectronic transducing means for transducing light incident from an optical system into an electric signal;
- image storage means for storing said electric signal as image data;
- image processing means for performing predetermined image processing of said stored image data to output it as photographed image data;
- and
- data recording means for recording said photographed image data,
- wherein selection is allowed between an autobracket photographing mode in which one set of the photographed image data is recorded in response to one time photographing operation, and another photographing mode, each of the photographed image data in the one set having a different value of an image parameter which is adjustable by the image processing, and
- wherein, when recording said one set of the photographed image data, said data recording means renders the image data photographed in said autobracket photographing mode distinguishable, while linking said one set of the photographed image data as a series of image data to render the link distinguishable.
