Abstract:
1. An image capturing apparatus comprising: a first acquisition unit that obtains a current location of the image capturing apparatus; a first storage unit that stores information that specifies an inhibited area within which an addition of location information representing the current location of the image capturing apparatus is inhibited; a determination unit that determines whether or not the current location of the image capturing apparatus obtained by the first acquisition unit is within the inhibited area stored in the first storage unit; and a generating unit that generates captured image data in response to input of a capturing instruction, wherein the generating unit generates captured image data to which the location information is not added in a case in which it is determined by the determination unit that the current location of the image capturing apparatus is within the inhibited area, and generates captured image data to which the location information is added in a case in which it is determined by the determination unit that the current location of the image capturing apparatus is not within the inhibited area.
