Claim:
A digital camera connectable to a printer apparatus and that can control the connected printer apparatus to print a shot image, comprising: an image sensing unit that shoots an image; a setting reception unit that receives settings as to whether or not date information of the shooting is to be added to the image shot by said image sensing unit; a composition unit that adds the date information to the image shot by said image sensing unit based on the received settings; a storing unit that stores in a storage medium the shot image whose header has appended thereto an identifier used to identify whether or not the date information is added to the shot image; a display unit that displays the shot image stored in the storage medium; a selection unit that selects an image to be printed among the images stored in the storage medium; a control unit that controls the display unit to display a print setting screen for setting a printing condition for the selected image to be printed, wherein a setting of the printing condition in a previous print process is displayed as a default setting of the printing condition; a setting unit that sets a setting value of the printing condition according to a user operation using the print setting screen, wherein the setting value is the same as the default setting or altered from the default setting; a transmission unit that transmits the printing condition having the setting value set by said setting unit and the image to be printed to the printer apparatus; and a first determination unit that determines whether the date information is added to the image to be printed based on the identifier of the image to be printed, wherein the control unit controls the display unit to display a date-stamp-off setting as the default setting instead of the setting of the previous print process, when the first determination unit determines that the date information has already been added to the image to be printed, and said setting unit can alter the setting value from the date-stamp-off setting as the default setting to a date-stamp-on setting value even if the date information has already been added to the image to be printed.
