Abstract: In viewing a moving image taken by an image taking apparatus, contents of that moving image are easily understood. A feature quantity extraction block 150 extracts a feature quantity associated with a taken image. A conversion information correction block 160 corrects conversion information if the feature quantity is over a threshold value. A synthesized image division decision block 170 determines that a taken image and a log image are not to be synthesized if the feature quantity is over a threshold level. If the conversion information was corrected, an image conversion block 180 converts a taken image by the corrected conversion information; if the conversion information was not corrected, the image conversion block corrects a taken image by the conversion information.
