wherein the icon is superimposed on a thumbnail image from the plurality of thumbnail images that is associated with moving image data.

2 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of data files that jointly store continuous moving image data are data files generated in response to a single shooting instruction.

3 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of data files that jointly store continuous moving image data are data files recorded in a mode in which moving image data is recorded into one or more data files according to a predetermined dividing condition.

4 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of data files that jointly store continuous moving image data are data files that have been divided due to a file system limit.

5 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of data files that jointly store continuous moving image data is determined to (i) have been recorded in a mode in which moving image data is divided according to a predetermined dividing condition and recorded into a plurality of data files or (ii) have been divided due to a file system limitation, based on file names included in the information.

6 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the selection screen is generated to display, the plurality of data files that jointly store continuous moving image data, as a single data file whose total recording time is a sum of recording times of the plurality of data files.

7 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the selection screen is generated to display a plurality of data files of continuously shot still images individually.

8 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the selection screen is generated to display, a plurality of data files of continuously shot still images, also as a single data file.

9 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein in a case where one data file corresponding to the plurality of data files of the continuously shot still images is selected on the selection screen, the selection screen is changed to display each of the plurality of data files of the continuously shot still images.

10 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein in a case where one data file corresponding to the plurality of data files that jointly store continuous moving image data is selected on the selection screen, the selection screen is not changed to display each of the plurality of data files that jointly store continuous moving image data.

11 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors further function as a controlling unit configured to execute processing a data file selected on the selection screen, and

in a case where a single data file representing the plurality of data files that jointly store continuous moving image data is selected on the selection screen, the controlling unit executes the processing on the plurality of data files that jointly store continuous moving image data as a selected target.

12 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein information of a plurality of data files recorded in an external apparatus that communicate with the image processing apparatus is obtained.

13 . An image processing method executed by an image processing apparatus comprising:

obtaining information relating to each of a plurality of data files that have been recorded; and

generating, based on the information, a selection screen for selecting a data file from the plurality of data files,

wherein the selection screen is generated to display, a plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to the plurality of data files that jointly store continuous moving image data, each thumbnail image from the plurality of thumbnail images is displayed as a single data file, an icon identifying whether the data file (i) was recorded in a mode in which moving image data is divided according to a predetermined dividing condition and recorded into a plurality of data files or (ii) have been divided due to a file system limitation,

wherein the icon is superimposed on a thumbnail image from the plurality of thumbnail images that is associated with moving image data.

14 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program which causes, when executed by a computer, the computer to execute an image processing method comprising:

obtaining information relating to each of a plurality of data files that have been recorded; and

generating, based on the information, a selection screen for selecting a data file from the plurality of data files,

wherein the generating generates the selection screen so as to display, a plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to the plurality of data files that jointly store continuous moving image data, each thumbnail image from the plurality of thumbnail images is displayed as a single data file, an icon identifying whether the data file (i) was recorded in a mode in which moving image data is divided according to a predetermined dividing condition and recorded into a plurality of data files or (ii) have been divided due to a file system limitation,

wherein the icon is superimposed on a thumbnail image from the plurality of thumbnail images that is associated with moving image data.
