Image data processing apparatus for digitally reproducing optical image data
First Claim
1. In a digital still camera which produces digital image data corresponding to an optical image of a photographed object, and which records the digital image data in a recording medium, an improved image data processing apparatus comprising:
- header information recording means for producing header information each time photography is performed, and for recording the header information in the recording medium along with the digital image data, said header information including first information representing a time at which the photography is performed, second information representing a data compression rate of the digital image data recorded in the recording medium, and third information selected by a user,means for selecting one of said first information, said second information and said third information as retrieval mode data to identify desired digital image data to be retrieved from among a plurality of digital image data stored in the recording medium.
