1. A digital still camera comprising:
- a photographing section which converts an optical image into an electric signal;
a recording section which records a dynamic image obtained by the photographing section as a dynamic image file in a storage medium;
a reproduction section which reproduces the dynamic image recorded by the recording section;
a display section which displays the dynamic image reproduced by the reproduction section;
a touch panel which is disposed to cover a display surface of the display section and by which a user'"'"'s instruction is inputted;
a detection section which detects a tracing operation by a user on the touch panel; and
a control section which judges a direction and speed of the tracing operation detected by the detection section and which determines a process in accordance with the direction and speed to control dynamic image reproduction by the reproduction section,wherein when a touch operation in which the position does not change is detected following the tracing operation detected by the detection section, the control section continues to execute the process in accordance with the direction and speed while detecting the touch operation, and when the touch operation is not detected, the control section cancels the process in accordance with the direction and speed.

Abstract
There is disclosed a digital still camera in which a direction and speed of a tracing operation by user'"'"'s fingertips on a touch panel are judged and a dynamic image reproduction process is executed in accordance with the direction and speed. For example, fast forward/rewind reproduction of a dynamic image is executed in response to a long and fast tracing operation to the right from the left or to the left from the right.

9. A user instruction input method of inputting a user'"'"'s instruction in a digital still camera including:
-
a photographing section which converts an optical image into an electric signal;
a recording section which records a dynamic image obtained by the photographing section as a dynamic image file in a storage medium;a reproduction section which reproduces the dynamic image recorded by the recording section; a display section which displays the dynamic image reproduced by the reproduction section; and
a touch panel which is disposed to cover a display surface of the display section and by which the user'"'"'s instruction is inputted, the reproduction section including at least one reproduction function of fast forward/rewind reproduction, slow reproduction/slow reverse reproduction, double-speed reproduction/double-speed reverse reproduction, and frame feed reproduction/reverse frame feed reproduction of the dynamic image, the method comprising;detecting a tracing operation by a user on the touch panel; and judging a direction and speed of the detected tracing operation and determining the reproduction function in accordance with the direction and speed to control the dynamic image reproduction by the reproduction section, wherein the controlling of the dynamic reproduction includes;
when a touch operation in which the position does not change is detected following the detected tracing operation, continuing to execute a process in accordance with the direction and speed while detecting the touch operation; andwhen the touch operation is not detected, canceling the reproduction process in accordance with the direction and speed.
