PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image pickup device which immediately photographs a new image according to a photographing instruction from a user even while image data is transmitted from the image pickup device to a computer. SOLUTION: This device contains image picking up parts 101 to 105, a signal processing part 106 which converts an image signal outputted from the image picking up parts into digital image data, a transmission data generating part 107 which divides the digital image data into data of a prescribed size and generates plural transmission packets, switches SW1 and SW2 with which a user instructs a photographing preparation operation or a photographing operation, a controlling part 115 which interrupts the transmission of the transmission packets when the switches are operated in the middle of successively transmitting the plural transmission packets to the outside and controls so as to continuously transmit untransmitted transmission packets among the plural transmission packets when the switch operation is finished and an interrupt signal outputting part 112 which transmits a signal showing that a transmission operation is in the middle of being interrupted to a computer 103 while the transmission of the transmission packets is interrupted.
