Abstract
A digital camera allowing searching of an image in a simple manner is provided, in which an image folder is formed for each session of continuous image pickup operations, and each of the plurality of images picked up in one session of continuous image pickup operation is stored as an image file in the corresponding image folder. Therefore, as compared with the conventional example in which continuously picked up images are stored in the order of pickup similar to the images picked up normally, searching of an image is facilitated. Further, as the images can be handled as an image group folder by folder, efficiency in processing can be improved.
