Electronic camera and method of operating an electronic camera

Abstract

An electronic camera displays recorded information, such as image frames, to permit the selection of items of information to be transferred to external equipment. Each time an item of information is transferred, an informative indication (e.g., an icon) is displayed in association with the transferred item to confirm the transfer and to permit an operator to select items of recorded information that may be erased. If an error occurs during transfer of a series of items, the operator can determine from the display the point at which the error occurred, avoiding the need for transferring items that have already been transferred.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An electronic camera comprising: 
 image pickup means for capturing an image of a subject and producing picture information;    information obtaining means for obtaining record information including at least one of said picture information, voice information which is provided through a microphone, and information which is provided through an external input terminal;    recording means for receiving record information from said information obtaining means, and recording record information on a recording medium;    transfer means for receiving record information from said recording medium or from said information obtaining means, and transferring record information to external equipment; and    display means for displaying information relating to record information, wherein said display means provides an informative indication of record information that has been transferred by said transfer means, said informative indication identifying record information that has been transferred.
