Abstract
An image retrieval apparatus capable of retrieving a desired image from images shot continuously in a short time. A display control unit displays the images on a display unit in order in a first or second transition direction according to a user's operation. A setting unit sets up a limit point in the first (second) transition direction when the direction in which the images are displayed in order is switched from the first (second) transition direction to the second (first) transition direction based on an image displayed at a time of switching. The display control unit stops displaying the images in order in the first (second) transition direction when a displayed image reaches an image corresponding to the limit point in the first (second) transition direction during the images are displayed in order in the first (second) transition direction.
