Abstract: A digital camera is provided which allows easy recognition of what images are stored in a folder created on a recording medium when viewed from a personal computer. The digital camera stores photographed images in folders on a removable recording medium. In response to an instruction given by the user (step #200), a specified image (#206) is determined as an image that represents all the images stored in the folder which includes that image, and then data that marks it as a representative image is recorded in the tag of the image file of the image (#208). When searching the recording medium, the personal computer identifies the representative image based on the above-mentioned data and displays the representative image in a manner superimposed on the image of the folder.
