Claim:
A digital photographing apparatus comprising: an image capture device for generating first data regarding an image generated from light input in response to a signal input by a user; a first data reading unit for reading the first data in units of plurality of N interlaced groups into read data, where N=2, a first of the interlaced groups comprising rows {0, N, 2N, . . . } of the first data, a second of the interlaced groups comprising rows {1, N+1, 2N+1, . . . } of the first data, and a last of the interlaced groups comprising rows {N−1, 2N−1, 3N−1, . . . } of the first data the reading of the first data into the read data ending with completion of the reading of the last interlaced group of the first data; a data conversion unit for converting the read data into second data; and a display unit for displaying the image generated from the light incident on the image capture device, wherein the data conversion unit starts conversion of the read data into the second data after the first data reading unit starts reading of the last interlaced group of the first data and before the first data reading unit completes the reading of the first data into the read data.
