Abstract
Image data are recorded in a memory card in a standard DOS-FAT data file structure. When the compression mode is set, original image data is compressed in accordance with a JPEG system, and compressed image data obtained and fixed information in a JPEG header are written in the memory card so as to form a JPEG file. When the uncompression mode is set, the original image data and fixed information in a TIFF header are written into the memory card so as to form a TIFF file. Accordingly, it becomes possible to handle not only compressed image data but also original image data which is obtained in a digital electronic still camera by a lot of types of personal computers.
