Patent ID: 8724959

Claim:
An image recording apparatus configured to record a still image and a moving image on a recording medium, the image recording apparatus comprising: a still image recording unit configured to encode a still image according to a still image coding method and to record the encoded still image on the recording medium; a moving image recording unit configured to encode a moving image according to a moving image coding method and to record the encoded moving image on the recording medium as a normal moving image; a generation unit configured to generate the moving image encoded according to the moving image coding method from a plurality of still images encoded according to the still image coding method and to record the generated moving image on the recording medium; an identification image display control unit configured to cause an identification image of the still image, the normal moving image, and the moving image generated from the plurality of the encoded still images which are recorded on the recording medium to be displayed on a display unit; a determination unit configured to determine an image type of the identification image specified via the display unit; a moving image information display control unit configured to, if the determination unit determines the image type is the normal moving image, cause a moving image corresponding to an identification image specified via the display unit to be displayed on the display unit; and a still image information display control unit configured to, if the determination unit determines the image type is the still image, cause a still image corresponding to the identification image specified via the display unit to be displayed on the display unit; wherein, if the determination unit determines the image type is the moving image generated from the plurality of the encoded still images, the moving image information display control unit does not cause the moving image generated from the plurality of the encoded still images to be displayed on the display unit, but the still image information display control unit causes a plurality of still images encoded according to the still image coding method from which the moving image has been generated to be sequentially displayed on the display unit.
