Abstract
A roll of developed still photographic film feeds toward an image capturing part. The image capturing part captures the image data of plural frames. An index image, which is composed of plural frames, is made in accordance with the captured image data of plural frames, and the index image is displayed on a display. When the index image is displayed, the format information relating to an aspect ratio of each frame, which is recorded in the film, is read. An image processing conforming to the format information of each frame is executed in accordance with the read format information, so that the aspect ratio of each frame in the index image can be seen. Only an image area, which is required for display and printing, is read according to the format information relating to the aspect ratio of each frame. As a result, the pixels of the line sensor can be used effectively.
