ELECTRONIC CAMERA SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC CAMERA, CRADLE, IMAGE ACCUMULATION DEVICE, AND PROGRAM

摘要

An electronic camera system has an electronic camera and a cradle. The electronic camera includes an image pickup section, a first recording section, a first connecting terminal, and a camera controlling section. The image pickup section photoelectrically converts a subject image to generate image data. The first recording section records image data. The first connecting terminal is used for transmission/reception of data to/from an outside of the camera. The camera controlling section transfers the image data to the outside of the camera. The cradle includes a second connecting terminal, a cradle controlling section, and a second recording section. The second connecting terminal is constructed to be capable of engaging with the first connecting terminal. The cradle controlling section transmits/receives data to/from the electronic camera. In the second recording section, the image data transferred from the electronic camera can be recorded. Also, at least one of the electronic camera and the cradle further includes a transfer determination section which determines a possibility of transferring the image data based on predetermined authentication information. Then, the camera controlling section transfers the image data from the first recording section to the cradle when there is a permission from the transfer determination section.
