An electronic image file apparatus comprising:

• an image data capture unit for capturing image data recorded on a film;
• a film information detector for detecting photographing date information and a film frame number of said film;
• a storage/accumulation unit for storing and accumulating the film image data captured by said image data capture unit;
• and
• a film cartridge identifier generation unit for generating a predetermined cartridge identifier relating to a film cartridge for storing said film,
• wherein said storage/accumulation unit stores and accumulates the film image data captured by said image data capture unit in correspondence with a file name which is set in accordance with the photographing date information and the film frame number detected by said film information detector and the cartridge identifier generated by said film cartridge identifier generation unit.
