As the area to be saved is reduced, the image size (pixels) of the cropped copy is also reduced. When the image is cropped and the size of the cropped copy is 320 × 240 or 160 × 120, the image is displayed with a black border on the playback screen, and the small picture icon B or C is displayed on the left of the playback screen.
