Method of controlling digital image processing apparatus for efficient reproduction and digital image processing apparatus using the method
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a digital image processing apparatus that, in a photographing mode, processes and stores an input image in a recording medium and, in a reproduction mode, displays at least one image file of a plurality of image files that are stored in the recording medium, the method consisting of the sequential steps:
- (a) setting the digital image processing apparatus in the reproduction mode;
(b) using the digital image processing apparatus in the reproduction mode for displaying a single image file from the recording medium, the single image file being different from a most-recently stored image file;
(c) while the single image file is being displayed, switching from the reproduction mode to the photographing mode;
(d) using the digital image processing apparatus for a duration in the photographing mode for storing a newly photographed image to a new image file in the recording medium;
(e) after the duration, switching from the photographing mode to the reproduction mode; and
(f) irrespective of the duration, first displaying again only the single image file from step (c).

Abstract
Provided is a method of controlling a digital image processing apparatus that processes and stores an input image in a recording medium and reproduces files stored in the recording medium in a stored-image display mode. The method includes: (a) classifying the stored-image display mode into first and second modes; (b) determining whether any one of the first and second modes was selected by a user if a command to perform the stored-image display mode is input by the user; (c) displaying a latest file first if the first mode was selected; and (d) displaying a file most recently reproduced first if the second mode was selected.

10. A digital image processing apparatus comprising:
-
an optical system for receiving a light reflected from a subject; a photoelectric conversion module in optical communication with the optical system for converting the light to image data; a recording medium for storing the image data in an image file; a display screen for displaying the image data; and a controller connected with the photoelectric conversion module, the recording medium and the display screen, the controller being operative in a photographing mode to process the image data for storage in the recording medium and, in a stored-image display mode, being operative to control the display screen for displaying a single image relative to the image data, wherein upon a user performing a mode-switching operation defined by switching from the stored-image display mode to the photographing mode and back to the stored-image display mode the controller causes the display screen to first display a single image file that was most recently displayed before the mode-switching operation, the single image file being different from a most-recently stored image file, and the single image file being first displayed irrespective of a duration that the camera was used in the photographing mode during the mode-switching operation. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
