Claim One:
1. A method of storing multiple captured images in digital form, comprising: storing an image captured in a digital form in a first format in a digital storage device with an image that is already stored in the digital form in the storage device; determining if a percentage of a finite storage capacity of the digital storage device that is needed to store the captured and already stored images in the storage device exceeds a pre-set threshold value, wherein storage used of the finite storage capacity to store images may exceed the pre-set threshold value; if the percentage of storage space needed to store the captured and already stored images in the storage device is determined to exceed the pre-set threshold value, then compressing at least one of the captured and already stored images; and storing all of the captured and already stored images, including all of the compressed images of the captured image and the already stored image, in the storage device.
