Abstract
A digital still camera has an image memory for storing a plurality of image groups. Each image group includes nine normal images and a reduced image obtained by thinning pixels of each normal image for reduction to 1/9. When a mode pattern is pressed to indicate forward/backward screen-feeding in a nine-screen multi-reproduction mode, a control circuit feeds forwards or backwards nine reduced images displayed on a liquid crystal screen for each group at one time. Images can thus be retrieved more rapidly than in conventional examples which require operating a forward/backward screen-feed button nine times to feed nine reduced images forwards or backwards.
