Digital still camera

Abstract

A digital still camera offers a frame classification mode where the captured frame images are classified into plural scene categories in a photo movie. A display section of the camera main body has an image display area for displaying through images and, beside it, a category display area for displaying the plural scene categories. When an athletic festival is selected as the scenario for the photo movie, the scene categories such as “opening ceremony”, “morning athletic events”, “lunch break”, “afternoon athletic events”, and “closing ceremony” are displayed. One of these scene categories is specified before capturing an image. The data of the captured frame image is stored in an image file together with frame classification information which represents the specified scene category.
