Abstract

Abstract When picture image data recorded by a digital camera are transferred from a memory of the digital camera to another medium, filing is carried out in a short time and easily by determining a file name with no complete overlap with another file name, which is easy to understand, and easy to search for later. A file name comprising recording property information included in an image file and image file identifying information for identifying the image file is automatically determined, and copying (transfer) of the file to another medium is carried out using the determined file name as the file name in the medium.
