1. A digital electronic still camera comprising:

  • an original image data generation device for imaging a subject to generate original image data representing an image of the subject;

    a data compression circuit for compressing said original image data in accordance with a JPEG system to generate compressed image data;

    a mode setting device for setting either one of a compression mode and an uncompression mode;

    a memory previously storing fixed information of a JPEG header for the compressed image data and fixed information of a TIFF header for the original image data; and

    an image data writing device for starting said data compression circuit to generate the compressed image data and writing the compressed image data and the fixed information of the JPEG header stored in said memory into a memory card in a DOS-FAT data file structure so that a JPEG file is formed when the compression mode is set, while writing the original image data obtained from said original image data generation device and the fixed information of the TIFF header stored in said memory into the memory card in the DOS-FAT data file structure so that a TIFF file is formed when the uncompression mode is set.
