Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit that includes a shooting lens for collecting an image of a subject to be shot; and an imaging element that forms the image collected by the shooting lens and generates image data through photoelectric conversion of formed image. The imaging apparatus also includes an inclination detector that detects an inclination of the imaging apparatus from a predetermined position, through a rotation around a shooting optical axis of the shooting lens. The apparatus also includes a control unit that changes an operating mode to a switchable state capable of switching between operating modes when a predetermined time has elapsed in a state in which the inclination detected by the inclination detector falls within a predetermined range in which the operating modes of the imaging apparatus are switched to each other.

Abstract: An apparatus includes: a information file generation unit generating a information file indicating the dependence between an image file and a group to which the image file belongs; an image file selection unit selecting an image file; an information input unit inputting related information to be displayed with a reproduced image when the selected image file is reproduced; an image file generation unit generating an image file with related information for use in reproducing the related information together with the selected image file; and a group selection unit selecting a group to which the image file with related information belongs. The information file generation unit generates designation information for designation of the dependence between the image file with related information and the selected group, and the designation information is stored in the information file such that the image file with related information can be reproduced in a predetermined order.
