Abstract: During reconstruction, the hologram cannot be reconstructed at high speed. In the present invention, the distance between the optical system base point, which is associated with a recording medium address during recording, and the recording medium is measured, and said distance is recorded in a memory. During reconstruction, distance information, which is the distance of the recording medium from the memory that is associated with a recording medium reconstruction address, is read, and the position of an aperture filter is adjusted at high speed in the optical axis direction on the basis of the read distance information and a distance measurement result for the optical system base point during reconstruction and the recording medium. Thus, the relative positions of the hologram within the recorded medium associated with the optical system during reconstruction and during recording can be matched.
