A digital photographing apparatus capable of performing high-speed continuous shooting and immediately storing data regarding a captured image. The digital photographing apparatus includes an image capture device for generating first data regarding an image generated from light input in response to a signal input by a user, a first data reading unit for reading the first data in units of a plurality of interlaced groups, a data conversion unit for converting the read data into second data, and a display unit for displaying an image generated from light incident on the image capture device. The data conversion unit starts conversion of the read data into the second data when the first data reading unit reads a last group of the first data.
