Photographing apparatus, method for recording an image by the photographing apparatus, and method for reproducing an image by the photographing apparatus

An image recording method by a photographing apparatus, the method including the steps of:

• determining a states of a first recording medium for recording a photographed image, said first recording medium being detachably provided to the photographing apparatus;
• selecting whether the photographed image is to be transferred to the first recording medium or to an external apparatus of the photographed apparatus, based on the determined state, said external apparatus is provided with a second recording medium and processes an image stored in said second recording medium;
• and
• controlling a transfer of the photographed image based on the selected result.

A program product on a storage device, said program product executable by an image sensing device, wherein the program product comprising the steps of:

• determining a state of a first recording medium for recording a photographed image, said first recording medium being detachably provided to the photographing apparatus;
• selecting whether the photographed image is to be transferred to the first recording medium or to an external apparatus of the photographing apparatus, based on the determined state, the external apparatus is provided with a second recording medium and processes an image stored in the second recording medium;
• and
• controlling a transfer of the photographed image based on the selected result.

A photographing apparatus connectable to an image processing apparatus with a first recording medium, said image processing apparatus processes an image stored in said first recording medium, said photographing apparatus comprising:

• a discriminator discriminates a state of a second recording medium which is able to record a plurality of images, said second recording medium being detachably provided to said photographing apparatus;
• a selector which selects whether the image recorded in the first recording medium is to be reproduced or the image recorded in the second recording medium is to be reproduced, based on the discriminated state by said discriminator;
• and
• a controller which controls a reproduction of the image from the recording medium selected by said selector.

An image reproducing method by a photographing apparatus, the method including the steps of:

• discriminating a state of a first recording medium which is able to record a plurality of images, said first recording medium being detachably provided to the photographing apparatus;
• selecting whether the image recorded in the first recording medium is to be reproduced or the image recorded in an external apparatus of the photographing apparatus is to be reproduced, based on the discriminated state, said external apparatus is provided with a second recording medium and processes an image stored in said second recording medium;
• and
• controlling a reproduction of the image based on the selected result.
