Claim Text:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a communication unit configured to communicate with an external device; and a CPU configured to control process for transmitting via the communication unit one or more images recorded in a recording medium to the external device, wherein the CPU shifts a mode between an operation mode for receiving an instruction from the user to transmit one or more images to the external device and a standby mode for receiving an instruction from the external device to transmit one or more images to the external device, wherein the CPU selects based on a user operation whether to permit transmitting one or more images to the external device in the standby mode, wherein the CPU determines a type of the external device, and wherein, after the CPU determines that the type of the external device is a second type, the CPU receives the user operation for selecting whether to permit transmitting one or more images to the external device whose type is the second type in the standby mode and the CPU enables transmission of one or more images to the external device whose type is the second type via the communication unit after the user operation for selecting whether to permit transmitting one or more images to the external device whose type is the second type in the standby mode is received, and the CPU determines that the type of the external device is a first type, the CPU enables transmission of one or more images to the external device whose type is the first type via the communication unit in a mode associated with the first type without receiving an user operation for selecting whether to permit transmitting one or more images to the external device whose type is the first type in the standby mode.
