A table is allocated indexes corresponding to display positions on a
monitor screen, respectively, and data indicating an unexposed part at
each of the display positions is stored in each index of the table. Focal
position information is acquired from Exif header information on image
data of an image, and a location of one of the indexes in the table at
which no image data is registered is searched in an ascending order of
the indexes. According to the table, the images are arranged so that the
focal position of each image differs from the unexposed part at the
display position of the image.
