Abstract
A digital camera includes an interface connected with a memory card. To the memory card is recorded an image file including a compressed main-image data and compressed thumbnail image data of a subject taken. When the operator selects a transmit mode and performs predetermined key operation, the image file recorded on the memory card is transmitted to an Internet server via a communication circuit. After completing the transmission, the image files already transmitted are erased leaving the compressed thumbnail image data.
