Abstract: An image capture apparatus acquires exposure delay times and communication delay times of respective other image capture apparatuses, the exposure delay times being information of times from when the other image capture apparatuses receive a shooting command until when the other image capture apparatuses start exposure, the communication delay times being information of times required in communication with the other image capture apparatuses, and determines a common delay time based on the acquired communication delay times and exposure delay times of the respective other image capture apparatuses, the common delay time being delay time information that is common to all of the other image capture apparatuses, and upon accepting a shooting instruction, transmits the shooting command including a common timing obtained from the common delay time to the other image capture apparatuses.

Abstract: When displaying a plurality of reduced content items corresponding to original content items in a list, reduced content corresponding to original content being reproduced on an external video reproduction device is displayed in a second display mode different from a first display mode for other reduced content items. An instruction to perform a predetermined process on original content related to the reduced content displayed in the second display mode is accepted in response to a user operation on the reduced content. An identifier of the reduced content and the instruction to perform the predetermined process on the original content associated with the identifier are transmitted to an external device.

Abstract: There is provided a recording apparatus that is capable of avoiding the deletion of contents, which is important to the user, due to overwriting of the contents and degradation in reproduction quality due to recompression thereof, by allowing the user to selectively delete unnecessary contents by himself or herself using a deleting contents selection screen displayed to the user when there is little remaining recording capacity on a recording medium. The recording apparatus records information data on a recording medium at a plurality of different recording data rates. A recording data rate of the information data selected from the plurality of different recording data rates is set. A recordable time period is detected based on the set recording data rate and an information quantity of information data that has already been recorded on the recording medium. Recordable time period information indicative of the detected recordable time period is displayed.

Abstract: A moving picture recording apparatus comprises an acquisition unit which acquires moving picture data that includes video data and at least two channels of audio data; a first recording unit which records the moving picture data as a moving picture file; an extracting unit which extracts audio data of channels from a third channel onward included in the moving picture data; and a second recording unit which records the extracted audio data of channels from the third channel onward as an audio file different from the moving picture file.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a first display control unit for generating first image data to be displayed on a first image layer, a second display control unit for generating second image data to be displayed on a second image layer, a display update unit for controlling the second display control unit in accordance with a display position of the first image data to be displayed on the first image layer and extended information on the type for processing the first image data, and a combining unit for combining the first image data output from the first display control unit and the second image data output from the second display control unit so as to generate display image data.
