Image display apparatus, image display method, and recording medium

The invention provides an image display apparatus and an image display method, and a recording medium. In a digital camera (1), a retrieval display mode for searching the target image with the images recorded in the memory card (18) as target is set. In the retrieval display mode, CPU (12) carries out the following processing: specifying the pickup order of the recorded images, i.e., the retrieval start position based on a user operation, and displaying an image corresponding to the retrieval start position on the liquid crystal display device (3), then, controlling the determined keys of the input part (17) to change the images displayed on the liquid crystal display device (3) to other images in the predetermined pickup order. Thus, even a large amount of images to be retrieved exist in the case of determining multiple images while retrieving the target image, the image retrieval can be performed efficiently.
