ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a digital camera, which is designed such that a recording medium can be loaded thereon, the medium capable of recording photographed image data and prohibiting recorded image data from being erased. The digital camera includes an initialization instruction unit for instructing the loaded recording medium to initialize, and a notification unit for performing a predetermined notification operation for notifying execution of initialization. In the digital camera, the notification unit performs the predetermined notification operation when image data which is prohibited from being erased is recorded on the recording medium when the recording medium is instructed to initialize by the initialization instruction unit. When the recording medium on which the image data which is prohibited from being erased is recorded is loaded, and when the recording medium is instructed to initialize, the digital camera can prevent the image data from being inadvertently erased.
