Abstract
There is disclosed a digital camera system in which image information photographed by a digital camera and stored in an image memory is subjected to image processing via a CPU of an image handling apparatus and is taken in the image memory. Content of the image processing is indicated by a user with a user instruction section. Moreover, a fee for operating the system is charged by a charging box. Furthermore, after the fee is paid to the charging box, the CPU performs the processing in accordance with the processing content indicated by the user instruction section. The image information subjected to the processing is output by a printer.
