<p>A thumbnail image representative of inputted time-varying image data is created as a first thumbnail data set from the time-varying image data. A thumbnail image of an image extracted from the time-varying image as a characteristic image or a thumbnail image of an image specified by the user is created as a second thumbnail data set. The first and second thumbnail data sets are recorded on a recording medium as mutually independent groups. Therefore the user can readily select recorded data by using the recorded image data.</p>
