Even after a file system has been changed by an external apparatus, a
photographing operation and a recording operation can be normally
performed by a digital camera constructed with a recording device which
can be rewritten by an external digital camera control apparatus connected
thereto and an information holding device for holding information
regarding the recording device. The apparatus is arranged such that the
information regarding the recording device is updated by reflecting the
contents in the recording device by the information holding device in
response to a request from the external digital camera control apparatus,
so that when a photographing operation or a communication is performed,
the contents in the recording device is always reflected to the
information holding device.
