Abstract
Apparatus is provided for use with an image recording device which records images on a recording medium. The image recording device has (i) structure for detecting one of a remaining amount and a used amount of recording medium capacity, and (ii) a display for displaying the amount of recording medium capacity detected by the detecting structure. The apparatus for use with such an image recording device includes image recording mode-setting structure for setting an image recording mode of the image recording device to one of a first mode and a second mode. A processor is provided for causing the display to display the amount of recording medium capacity as a first value in the first image recording mode and as a second, different, value in the second image recording mode. Preferably, the display displays either frames or recording time for the recording medium. Preferably, the first and second image recording modes may be either still/continuous modes, different compression modes, or different speeds of continuous photographing. Also, the display may be switched between used capacity and remaining capacity of the recording medium.
