ABSTRACT:
If a user wants to store an image acquired from a site and it is determined that the data size of the image acquired from the site is larger than a designated storage frame in a memory region, then it is determined whether or not the number of colors in the pallet of the acquired image data can be reduced. Next, if the number of pallet colors can be reduced, the number of pallet colors is reduced to thereby compress the pallet and the image data is updated based on the compressed pallet. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of pallet colors cannot be reduced, a control section determines that the image data cannot be registered or stored and abandons the data and a display section displays storage error.
