An information recording device capable of preventing a deterioration of
quality of a display image. Pixel counts in each of a horizontal
direction and a vertical direction of an image represented by digital
image data generated by a CCD, are greater than in an image for which
electronic zoom has been implemented. A zoom rate of the electronic zoom
to be applied to the image during execution of dubbing of an image file
and/or display by an LCD of an image represented by the image file, is
limited to not more than a magnification rate upper limit value, which is
determined on the basis of the horizontal and vertical direction pixel
counts of the image represented by the digital image data generated by
the CCD and pixel counts in the horizontal and vertical directions of the
image for which the electron zoom has been implemented.
