Abstract
From a time point at which a storage capacity reaches a certain remaining capacity with respect to a limit value of 4 GB per one file depending on a file system, a subtraction time-managing portion (A) changes photographing elapsed time display () which is displayed on a display picture of a liquid crystal display portion () to subtraction time display () in which residual time until 4 GB is reached is continuously subtracted in the inside of a portable image pickup device (). Hence, a photographer can be visually informed of timing at which the photographing blank time period will occur. As a result, the photographer can be previously given the opportunity for the judgment about whether the photographing should be continuously performed or the current photographing should be ended to start new photographing.
