A method and system for providing a display on a device to which a detachable solid state memory devices, which includes a plurality of memory blocks, is attached. The method includes the steps of determining to which of a plurality of broadcasting system standards a detected size of each of the memory blocks in the solid state memory device corresponds, and providing a display on an apparatus to which the solid state memory device is attached, such as an electronic still camera, based on the detected size. In a preferred embodiment, the broadcasting standards are NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) and (Phase Alternation Line). A user is warned when a detected size of each of the memory blocks is not a predetermined size, thus, not the correct broadcasting system standard for the apparatus. Each of the memory blocks stores data corresponding to one picture image.
