Abstract
An image reproduction apparatus includes a flash memory which adds recording time information to an image and records the image, and a control unit which classifies images in the memory on the basis of the added time information, limits the number of classified images for each date to one, and causes a display unit to display a calendar image as a list of images.
Claims21
An image reproduction apparatus which is connectable to a memory configured to record photographed image data and photographing information of the photographed image data in association with each other, the image reproduction apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- a first display control unit configured to set a given number of display areas on the display, the display areas each being assignable to one of a plurality of different image groups;
- a display area selection unit configured to select from among the display areas, based on the photographing information recorded in the memory, a display area to which an image group of the photographed image data recorded in the memory is assigned;
- a second display control unit configured to limit a number of the photographed image data, from among all of the photographed image data of the image group assigned to the selected display area, to be simultaneously displayed in the selected display area to a predetermined number;
- and
- a third display control unit configured to first display in the selected display area a first set of photographed image data from among the photographed image data of the image group assigned to the selected display area, and then to display at least one different successive set of photographed image data from among the photographed image data of the image group assigned to the selected display area, while maintaining display control of the first and second display control units, thereby continuously displaying, in the selected display area, all of the photographed image data of the image group assigned to the selected display area, wherein a number of the photographed image data in the first set and each successive set is limited to the predetermined number set by the second display control unit.
