Abstract

A display control apparatus comprises a recording unit which records a still image and a moving image associated with the still image on a recording medium; a setting unit which sets whether to set the associated moving image as a start image to be displayed first at a start of image reproduction; and a control unit which controls to, when the associated moving image has been set as the start image, display the associated moving image from images recorded on the recording medium at the start of image reproduction, and controls to, when the associated moving image has not been set as the start image, display an image based on another condition irrelevant to whether the image is the associated moving image, from images recorded on the recording medium at the start of image reproduction.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an image display control apparatus and display control method.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Recently, a function of shooting a still image during moving image shooting, and a function of automatically recording a moving image immediately before shooting at the same time as still image shooting have been proposed as shooting functions of digital cameras.[0005]Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-222417 discloses a technique of, when a moving image associated with a still image which is being viewed exists in a recording medium, displaying an icon representing the presence of the associated moving image together with the still image so that the associated moving image can be easily reproduced by selecting the icon.[0006]Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-053936 proposes a technique of determining whether the remaining capacity of an image recording medium has changed after the...
