Abstract: A management system that manages content data corresponding to a hash value registered in a block of a blockchain. Content data selected by a user from among pieces of content data that are management targets, is provided to a provision destination of the selected content data.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus comprises an image sensor, and a controller that controls the image sensor to shoot images for display at a first cycle and controls to shoot a still image in response to the image shooting instruction. In a case where continuous shooting of still images is instructed during shooting the images for display at the first cycle, the controller changes a cycle at which the images for display are shot to a second cycle which corresponds to an integer multiple of speed of the continuous shooting while e continuous shooting is performed, and controls the image sensor to shoot the still images at the speed of the continuous shooting and shoot the images for display at the second cycle.

When performing still image shooting while performing moving image shooting and moving image display: if the still image shooting is single image shooting or a first shot of continuous shooting, the control circuit does not change the start timing of the second drive period. If the still image shooting is a second shot onward of continuous shooting, the control circuit changes the start timing of the second drive period with giving priority to the moving image display.

A second control unit performs control to temporarily stop the obtainment of the evaluation image and use the image sensor to obtain, during a stopped period, a still image for recording. A generating unit generates an estimated evaluation image corresponding to the stopped period on the basis of two or more evaluation images obtained outside the stopped period. For the stopped period, the obtaining unit obtains the evaluation value on the basis of the estimated evaluation image.
