Abstract
An electronic camera displays thumbnails corresponding to source files such as motion picture image files in one window. An operator intuitively performs simple operations on the thumbnails displayed in the window and corresponding source files by selecting, editing and rearranging the thumbnails within the window using drag and drop operations and a menu containing editing options. The operator can use a mouse or a touch screen to perform the drag and drop operations and to select editing options from the menu.
