A digital camera capable of capturing, displaying and recording images at appropriate frame rates is provided. When a current shooting scene mode is a non-sport mode, a current readout mode and a current display mode are set to a high-definition readout mode and a high-definition display mode, respectively, at the same time. Additionally, when a current operating mode is a moving image capturing mode, a current recording mode is also set to a high-definition recording mode at the same time. When the current shooting scene mode is a sport mode, on the other hand, the current readout mode and the current display mode are set to a high-speed readout mode and a high-speed display mode, respectively, at the same time. Additionally, when the current operating mode is the moving image capturing mode, the current recording mode is also set to a high-speed recording mode. The digital camera increases the image-capturing frame rate, the display frame rate and the recording frame rate in synchronism with each other in response to a change of the current shooting scene mode from the non-sport mode to the sport mode.
