The display of the shooting-in-progress indicator will now be described with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6C. FIG. 6A is a diagram for illustrating a section width BarW and a drawing pixel width DrawW of the indicator displayed during recording. FIG. 6B is a diagram for further illustrating a drawing pixel width DrawW for each recording time. A section width BarW 603 illustrated in FIG. 6A is equal to the length of one section, and indicates the entire recording time of one chapter (a movie recorded according to one recording instruction). The display length does not vary according to a recording time. In addition, the section width BarW 603 illustrates, in an enlarged manner for explanation, one section of the shooting-in-progress indicator 707 illustrated in FIG. 7B that indicates the progress during recording. In other words, the length of the section width BarW 603 remains the same regardless of whether a recording time is 3, 4, or 6 seconds. In addition, a white portion 601 indicates the rate of the length of a recording time of a recorded portion of a movie corresponding to one chapter. In contrast, a gray portion 602 indicates the rate of the length of a recording time of a not-recorded portion. A drawing pixel width DrawW 604 indicates a drawing pixel width of a portion the display color of which is switched (recolored) from gray to white by one update of indicator display. During recording, display in one section of the indicator is updated in accordance with the progress of recording, so as to indicate that recording in a predetermined period (rewriting time Tα) is completed. The rewriting time Tα is a reciprocal of a frame rate DrawF. In the present exemplary embodiment, switching of the color of the indicator from gray to white indicates that recording has accordingly progressed. In other words, as recording progresses, the display color of each section of the indicator, which had been displayed entirely in gray at the start of recording, switches from gray to white starting from the left side in each recording period, at a progress rate corresponding to a set recording time. Through such display, the user can recognize the progress of the recording. In addition, when the recording ends, one section displayed in gray at the start of recording is displayed entirely in white. Thus, based on the change in display color, the user can recognize that recording corresponding to one chapter is ended, in addition to the progress of the recording.
