Patent ID: 8571378

Claim:
An image capturing apparatus, comprising: an image pickup section configured to acquire a plurality of successive images through image capturing; a storage section configured to store the acquired images as moving image information; and a control section having a processor and configured to execute instructions to: detect a change in a predetermined state of the image capturing apparatus during acquisition of the images, the change in the predetermined state comprising a change in a spatial position of the image capturing apparatus; identify, in response to the detected change in the predetermined state, a first temporal position within the moving image information, the first temporal position corresponding to the detected change in the predetermined state; determine, within the moving image information, a second temporal position at which a magnitude of the change in spatial position exceeds a threshold value, the second temporal position corresponding to an effect of the detected change within the moving image information; determine whether a difference between the first and second temporal positions exceeds a threshold time period; and when difference exceeds the threshold time period, generate a signal to store information associated with the predetermined state at the second temporal position within the moving image information.
