Abstract
When a key for directly transferring from the screen of a “video mode” of tape reproduction to the screen of memory stick reproduction is separately arranged, the ratio of an occupation area of the key on the screen is increased. Therefore, a setting operation is performed such that a stop key (11a) is displayed when the “video mode” is set and no memory stick is mounted as shown in FIG. 1A, and when the tape is being reproduced as shown in FIG. 1C. In contrast to this, the setting operation is also performed such that a switching key (11f) for transferring to the reproducing screen of the memory stick of FIG. 1D is displayed when the “video mode” is set and no tape is being reproduced and the memory stick is mounted as shown in FIG. 1B.

An imaging device operable to have a first recording medium and a second recording medium, said imaging device comprising:
- a display unit having a display screen;
- and
- a control circuit operable to display a first icon for reproducing the second recording medium when the first recording medium is not reproduced and the second recording medium is mounted in the reproducing mode of the first recording medium.
An imaging device operable to reproduce information stored on a first recording medium and on a second recording medium, said imaging device comprising:
- a display unit having a display screen;
- and
- a control circuit operable to cause a first icon to be displayed on the display screen for reproducing information from the second recording medium in an operational mode for reproducing information from the first recording medium, when the first recording medium is not involved in a reproduction operation and the second recording medium is mounted to the imaging device.
A method for use with an imaging having a display unit with a display screen and operable to reproduce information from a first recording medium and from a second recording medium, said method comprising:
- determining whether the second recording medium is mounted to the imaging device;
- causing an icon to be displayed on the display screen for enabling an operator to select a reproduction operation in which information from the second recording medium is reproduced in an operational mode for reproducing information from the first recording medium, when the second recording medium is determined to be mounted to the imaging device and the first recording medium is not involved in a reproduction operation.
