Moving pictures are played back and displayed in a “moving picture display area” of a liquid crystal monitor. If a menu/OK button is pressed and a still picture extract command is issued during playback of moving pictures, then a predetermined number of frames of the still picture data obtained immediately before, immediately after, and before and after the moment when the still picture extract command is input is extracted together with the still picture data obtained at the moment when the still picture extract command is input from the moving picture data at predetermined intervals. Then, it is played back and displayed in a “still picture display area” of the liquid crystal monitor, and is recorded as a still picture file in a memory card.
