Abstract
An index image data which shows all frames of a film within a film cartridge is stored in a memory card corresponding to a film cartridge or an IC memory integrated in a cartridge. Then, when an index image which shows plural frames is regenerated, the index image data stored in the memory card is read out, and the index image is displayed on a TV monitor in accordance with the readout index image data. As a result, when a person orders additional copies and views a film image on TV monitor, a desired film cartridge can easily be found without pulling the film from the film cartridge. Furthermore, at least the data which are used when one frame is regenerated are stored in the memory card, so that the pre-scanning can be omitted when one frame is regenerated and a desired film image can be displayed on the monitor.
