Abstract:
1. An image sensing apparatus for transmitting to an external printing apparatus an image file of image data sensed by an image sensing unit and recorded in a first recording mode in which compression-encoded, developed image data, which is developed by a developing process and is then compression-encoded in a predetermined encoding process, is recorded as a file in a storage medium, or a second recording mode in which raw image data obtained without a developing process for the image data sensed by the image sensing unit, and compression-encoded image data obtained in the encoding process are recorded as one file, wherein said image sensing apparatus comprises: a communication unit configured to directly communicate with the external printing apparatus; a designation unit configured to designate a print target file from image files stored in the storage medium; a generation unit configured to generate, when the image file designated by said designation unit is a file recorded in the second recording mode, print data by removing the raw image data from the designated image file; a transmission unit configured to transmit the generated data to the printing apparatus via said communication unit; and a determination unit configured to determine a model of the printing apparatus which communicates with said image sensing apparatus via said communication unit, wherein said generation unit generates, when said determination unit determines that the printing apparatus does not support raw image printing, data without the raw image data.
