Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a display device with which a photographing state of image data can be intuitively known. When a subject is photographed, a quadrangular flag mark representing a photographing point of an image, and a triangular mark and a circular mark of solid lines representing a photographing range, are displayed on a map. A user can download a desired image associated with the marks by clicking the marks. When a subject is not photographed, a triangular flag mark representing the photographing point of the image, and triangular marks and circular marks of broken lines, are displayed on the map. The user can upload necessary images on the basis of the marks.

Abstract: A digital camera has a CCD acquiring image information expressing a subject image. Reference pattern information expressing a composition for which photographing is desired is stored in advance in a first memory. A CPU compares the reference pattern information and photograph pattern information, which is pattern information expressed by the image information acquired by the CCD and which corresponds to the reference pattern information, and determines whether or not the subject image expressed by the image information is the composition for which photographing is desired. When the CPU determines that the subject image is the composition for which photographing is desired, the CPU effects control so as to record the image information on a recording medium. Regardless of a form of usage of the digital camera, the digital camera can easily and quickly record desired image information.
