Next, it is judged whether or not there is an instruction to read and display the image information from the recording medium 9a (step S20). If there is a display instruction, the image is recorded from the recording medium 9a by the medium recording / control unit 19. The information index is read and displayed on the display unit 22a, 22b or any one of them (step S21). Then, it is determined whether any one of the image information displayed in the index is selected (step S22), and if any is selected (YE
S), the image is displayed (step S23). However, if it is not selected (NO), it is determined whether or not the selection is to be interrupted (step S24). If the selection is not to be interrupted, the process returns to step S22 to select the desired image again and to interrupt it. In the case (YES), it is determined whether or not the power is then turned off to end the operation (step S24). When the operation is ended (YES), the operation is ended, and when the operation is not ended (NO). , And returns to step S1.

As described above, in the image display device as the embodiment according to the present invention, not only the image by the visible light but also the image of the object is formed by the optical system and then the image is converted into an electric signal by the image pickup device.

Next, it is judged whether or not there is an instruction to read and display the image information from the recording medium 9a (step S20), and if there is a display instruction, the image is recorded from the recording medium 9a by the medium recording / control unit 19. The information index is read out and displayed on the display unit 22a, 22b or any one of them (step S21). Then, it is determined whether any of the image information displayed in the index has been selected (step S22), and if selected (YE
S), the image is displayed (step S23). However, if it is not selected (NO), it is determined whether or not the selection is interrupted (step S24), and if the selection is made without interruption , the process returns to step S22 . Next, it is determined whether the power is turned off to end the operation (step S24). If the operation is to be ended (YES), the operation is ended, and if not to be ended (NO), the process returns to step S1.
