1. A digital image data recording and reproducing apparatus comprising:

  • a random accessible memory medium;

    a recording unit which accesses the random accessible memory medium to;

    (i) record on the memory medium a plurality of moving digital image data each of which indicates a moving image and information about a plurality of still digital image data each of which represents a corresponding one of moving image data, and (ii) reproduce the moving digital image data to display the moving image corresponding to the moving digital image data, the recording unit recording the information on the random accessible memory medium when the moving digital image data corresponding to the still digital image data indicated by the information is recorded on the random accessible memory medium without reproducing the moving digital image data; and

    a processor electrically connected to the recording unit, the processor having (a) a first mode for simultaneously displaying the plurality of still digital image data from the random accessible memory medium on a display unit, and (b) a second mode for displaying the moving digital image data from the random accessible memory medium on the display unit in order to allow a user to change a frame from the moving digital image data that is used to produce the still digital image data, the frame used to produce the still digital image data for the second mode being selectively changed, based on input received from a user, without changing the moving image of the moving digital image data in the random accessible memory medium when moving digital image data is reproduced from the random accessible memory medium in the second mode so that a first moving digital image data that is represented by a first still image data remains unchanged after a frame used to produce the first still image data is selectively changed, the image data from a frame selected in the second mode being displayed as the still digital image data in the first mode, and one of the first mode and the second mode can be selected.
