An electronic apparatus includes: an input unit that inputs data for imaging conditions for each of a plurality of imaging regions included in an image capturing unit, different imaging conditions being set for each of the imaging regions; and a recording control unit that correlates the data for imaging conditions inputted from the input unit with the imaging regions and records correlated data in a recording unit.

A sound data creation method of the present disclosure includes a recording step of generating and recording first sound data having a first number of bits based on a first sound signal output from a first sound collection element, and a creation step of creating, based on the first sound data, second sound data having a second number of bits, which is smaller than the first number of bits, and having directivity information.

An on-vehicle recording control apparatus includes: a captured data acquisition unit configured to acquire video data of surroundings of a vehicle captured by a camera; an event detection unit configured to detect an event based on acceleration applied to the vehicle; an operation controller configured to receive event recording operation based on user operation; and a recording controller configured to: record the acquired video data; generate and store, from the acquired video data, event data of a longer retroactive period when the operation controller receives the event recording operation and acceleration that is equal to or larger than a predetermined value and not determined as an event is detected before receiving the event recording operation, as compared to a case in which the acceleration that is equal to or larger than the predetermined value and not determined as an event is not detected before receiving the event recording operation.

Provided is an accessory information generation method in an imaging apparatus that is attachable to an optical device. The accessory information generation method includes: first generating accessory information that includes at least whether or not imaging is performed via the optical device in image data captured by the imaging apparatus.

Provided is the image processing apparatus includes a control section that selects, in a case in which multiple captured images for recording are continuously captured, whether to cause black out-free live view display for sequentially displaying one of the captured images and one or multiple inter-frame images that are captured between capturing of the captured image and capturing of next captured image and that are not for recording, to be carried out, or cause black out live view display for alternately providing a backout display period in which no image is displayed and a display period in which at least the inter-frame images are sequentially displayed, to be carried out. The present technology can be applied to a camera.

An image capturing apparatus with a communication circuit for communicating with an external device selects an image to be forwarded to the external device as a forward target image from among images stored in a storage, forwards the forward target image to the external device via the communication circuit, and controls a predetermined attribute of the forward target image. In response to the forwarding of the forward target image, the apparatus manages the forward target image as a forwarded image, and controls the predetermined attribute of the forward target image to correspond to a forwarded state of the image.

An electronic apparatus comprising: an acquisition unit that acquires a shooting plan; a shooting unit that performs shooting and outputs image data; a linking unit that links the shooting plan and the image data obtained by performing shooting by the shooting unit according to the shooting plan; and a transmission unit that transmits the image data to which the shooting plan is linked.

An obtaining unit obtains authentication information. A specification unit specifies a user of the imaging apparatus based on the authentication information. A setting unit sets a first usage condition. A first control unit performs control such that, in a case where the imaging apparatus performs imaging in a state where a user is specified, an imaged image obtained by the imaging and information on the user are recorded in association with each other, and performs control such that, in a case where the imaging apparatus performs imaging in a state where a user is not specified and in a state where the first usage condition is satisfied, the imaged image obtained by the imaging and information on a user corresponding to the first usage condition are recorded in association with each other.
