1. An electronic still camera, comprising:
- image pick-up means for generating and outputting an image signal photoelectrically converted from an image incident thereon;
image data storing means for storing image data, corresponding to said image signal issued from said image pick-up means on an applied storage device or medium;
data communication means for transmitting designated image data in said storage device or medium through a personal computer network organization while an operation mode of the system is set for communication;
switch means for causing said communication means to start a communication mode operation; and
operation mode changing means including a first switch and a second switch, said first switch for switching a camera mode and a communication mode, said second switch for switching a play mode and a recording mode while said camera mode is set by said first switch, and for switching a receiving mode and a transmitting mode while a communication mode is set by said first switch.
