Abstract
An image file imaged by a digital camera is stored in a memory card, and the digital camera sets the number of prints for each image file according to the digital print order format (DPOF) standard and records the number as a printing information file in the memory card. When the number of prints is set, an image file in which at least one frame is designated for printing is determined to have a read-only file property in order to prevent the image file from being erased against the designation for printing. There is provided a mode for collectively designating all frames for printing.

A digital camera which records images of frames captured by an imaging device as image files in a recording medium, said digital camera comprising:
- a printing information producing device that produces printing information for each frame, referred to when said images recorded in said recording medium are printed;
- a printing information recording device that records said printing information of each frame, produced by said printing information producing device, as one printing information file in said recording medium;
- and
- a property changing device that changes properties of image files of frames designated for printing for which at least one print is designated, from normal file properties in which images can be erased and changed, to read-only file properties in which images can be only read.
A digital camera that records an image of each frame captured by an imaging device and information of number of prints to be produced from each frame in a recording medium, said information being referred to when said image is printed, that has a display to display said image, and that has regenerating function of displaying only images for which at least one print is designated to be produced in accordance with said information relating of the number of prints on said display.
A digital camera which records an image of each frame captured by an imaging device and information of number of prints to be produced from each frame in a recording medium, said information being referred to when said image is printed, said digital camera comprising:
