PURPOSE: To secure a storing function in a still picture transmission system for the history of a received still picture file.
CONSTITUTION: A portable still picture transmitter 1 is connected to a fixed still picture transmitter 2 via a telephone circuit 5. A magneto-optical disk device 4 where plural still picture files are recorded is connected to the transmitter 2. A work RAM of the transmitter 1 stores 10 names of still picture files including the latest one received from the transmitter 2. These file names are successively shown for reference on a display 12 by means of the numeral keys 14 provided on a control panel of the transmitter 1. The numbers are given to the shown file names in the order of reception. Then a still picture file request is issued by means of a function key 13 provided in the control panel with a prescribed file name shown on the device 12. Thus the still picture file can be received again in response to the relevant file name.
