Image shooting system
First Claim
1. An image shooting apparatus comprising:
- an image generator for shooting a subject and for generating image data;
an index information generator for generating index information for identifying a shooting condition of the image generator at the time of image shooting by the image generator;
a memory for storing a parameter representative of the shooting condition and the index information so as to be associated with each other; and
a transmitter for transmitting the image data and the index information to an operation apparatus capable of controlling the image shooting apparatus.

Abstract
When image data is transmitted from an image shooting apparatus to an operation apparatus, the shooting time at which image shooting is performed (index information) is transmitted together with the image data. Receiving the image data, the operation apparatus performs image display based on the image data. While visually confirming the image displayed on the operation apparatus, the user inputs an operation command such as image recording when a desired image is displayed. Consequently, the operation apparatus generates a command corresponding to the operation command. Then, the operation apparatus transmits the received shooting time together with the image data to be displayed and the command to the image shooting apparatus. Receiving the command, the image shooting apparatus identifies the image data which the command is issued for, and appropriately executes the command.

13. An image shooting apparatus comprising:
-
an image generator for shooting a subject and for generating image data;
a transmitter for transmitting the image data to an operation apparatus capable of controlling the image shooting apparatus;
a timer adjusted so as to indicate a time the same as a time at the operation apparatus;
a receiver for receiving data from the operation apparatus;
a comparator for comparing, when time information is included in the data received by the receiver, a time represented by the time information with the time indicated by the timer; and
a controller for controlling the image shooting apparatus so as not to execute a command included in the data received from the operation apparatus for a predetermined time when there is a difference not less than a predetermined threshold value between the times as a result of the comparison by the comparator.
