Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain the exchange of digital information between a digital camera and another digital device by combining the 1st and 2nd images or displaying the 2nd image on a display means separately from the 1st image. SOLUTION: A 2nd image that is obtained in response to a command is combined with a 1st image or displayed on a display means separately from the 1st image. A digital camera 100 includes a photo snapping means, a storage means, a display 102, an input means and a controller 103. In order to secure the operation of a standard digital camera, the photo snapping means snaps the photo of an object 104. This photo is stored in the storage means as the 1st image and then shown on the display 102. The input means gives a command to the controller 103 to obtain the 2nd image via a communication link, stores the 2nd image in the storage means and shows the 2nd image on the display 102.
