Abstract
There is provided an image pickup apparatus that is capable of easily displaying in a distinguishable manner image data when the image data is photographed by a plurality of image pickup apparatuses, transferred (copied or moved) between the image pickup apparatuses and displayed by one image pickup apparatus. An image data photographed by an image pickup device is recorded by a recording device and the image data recorded is displayed by a display device. The recorded image data is transmitted and received by a communication device that is connectable to a plurality of image pickup apparatuses. Unique apparatus information for identifying the image pickup apparatus to the photographed image data is allotted to the photographed image data. A CPU provides control to cause the display device to display the image data received by the communication device from respective ones of the plurality of image pickup apparatuses and the image data recorded by said recording device, using the unique apparatus information, in such a manner that the image data received by the communication device from respective ones of the plurality of image pickup apparatuses and the image data recorded by the recording device can be distinguished from one another.
