Abstract
A digital camera () includes a CPU (). When a power source is turned on, the CPU () determines an available area of a recording destination on the basis of an FAT recorded on a magneto-optical disk (). Compressed image data created on the basis of an operation of a shutter button () is recorded on the determined available area. When succeeding in recording, the FAT is renewed. When failing in recording due to a defect of the magneto-optical disk (), a message is displayed on a monitor (). When a set key () is operated after displaying the message, a write protection is set on the magneto-optical disk ().
