There is provided an image capturing apparatus that enables a user to confirm images already captured by the user on the image capturing apparatus even when the captured images have been transferred to another storage unit other than the image capturing apparatus and that enables the user to display the desirable captured images on an external display unit by remotely controlling the image capturing apparatus connected with the external display unit. The image capturing apparatus has an image capturing section for capturing images, a large memory for storing the captured images, a small memory whose memory capacity is smaller than that of the large memory and which is removable from the image capturing section, an image compressing section for compressing the captured images, a storage processing section for storing the compressed images in the small memory, a small display section having a less number of pixels than the captured images and a display control section for reading the compressed images out of the small memory to display on the small display section.
