Abstract: An image signal reproduction device, provided in an electronic still camera, comprises a CPU, an image signal processing circuit, a memory card, in which a compressed image signal is recorded, and a display device having a liquid crystal display (LCD) and a resolution recognition unit. A clock pulse, outputted from the CPU, is received by the resolution recognition unit, so that a recognition pulse, corresponding to the inherent resolution of the LCD, is outputted from the resolution recognition unit to the image signal processing circuit. The compressed image signal is read from the memory card, and reproduced to some extent corresponding to the resolution of the LCD.
