FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: when a digital camera is communicatively connected to an external device through close-proximity wireless communication, the central processor of the digital camera obtains, from the external device, index information indicating a list of data stored in the external device. The central processor then terminates the communication connection to the external device and receives a designation of data to be transferred via an operation unit based on the index information. After having designated data to be transferred, an image processing unit of the digital camera obtains designated data from the external device when the camera is communicatively reconnected to the external device through close-proximity wireless communication.
EFFECT: enabling a data receiving apparatus to select data which must be transmitted without supporting a communication connection using close-proximity wireless communication.
