Abstract
A digital camera includes a CPU. When a memory card is attached to the digital camera, the CPU determines as to a format formed on the memory card. If the format is a normal format, the CPU changes the normal format to an optimal format. However, where an image file is already stored in the memory card or a directory for a file other than the image file is formed, the CPU does not change the format.
