Abstract: An imaging apparatus receives an instruction to recapture an image last captured in a multiple exposure shooting mode after a first number of images in the multiple exposure shooting mode are acquired. The imaging apparatus generates an image into which an image captured in the multiple exposure shooting mode and a second number of images are multiple combined, the second number of images being the first number of images excluding the image last captured. The imaging apparatus displays, on a display unit, a first image obtained by multiple combining the first number of images and a second image obtained by multiple combining the second number of images after the first number of images are acquired in the multiple exposure shooting mode and before the instruction to recapture the image is received.

Abstract: An image pickup apparatus that facilitates checking of the tilt thereof by changing a display position of a horizontal guide. A digital camera (image pickup apparatus) includes a tilt sensor for detecting a tilt of the camera. A system controller determines the display position of the horizontal guide based on the tilt of the camera detected by the tilt sensor such that it is displayed in an upper portion of the screen when an angle formed between the optical axis of the camera and a gravity direction is smaller than when the angle is equal to a predetermined angle. The system controller causes the horizontal guide to be displayed on the screen at the determined position, together with an image picked up by an image pickup device.

Abstract: An image data selecting unit selects image data which stores image attribute information to be additionally registered, and image data to which new image attribute information is to be additionally registered, from those displayed by a search result display unit. An image attribute information additional registration unit additionally registers image attribute information selected by an image attribute information selecting unit to the image data which is selected by the image data selecting unit and to which the new image attribute information is to be additionally registered. By automatically assigning attribute information which is not assigned upon registration of image data, the load on the user upon registration is reduced.
