Patent ID: 8447161

Claim:
An imaging apparatus comprising: a moving image creating unit configured to create a moving image based on a subject image; a setting unit configured to set one of a plurality of recording modes which decide image quality of a moving image to be recorded; a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature associated with a case of the imaging apparatus; a display unit capable of displaying a remaining recording time which indicates a time for which the imaging apparatus can record the moving image; and a display controller configured to control the display unit, wherein the plurality of recording modes include a first recording mode in which, when the moving image creating unit continuously operates in the first recording mode, the moving image creating unit generates heat so that the temperature in the case reaches a first predetermined temperature, and a second recording mode in which, when the moving image creating unit continuously operates in the second recording mode, the moving image creating unit generates heat so that the temperature in the case cannot reach the first predetermined temperature, and the display controller determines the remaining recording time based on the temperature in the case indicated by a result of the measurement by the temperature sensor; and determines whether to display a remaining recording time which is determined based on the temperature in the case, on the display based on a result of a determination of whether the recording mode set by the setting unit is the first recording mode unit.
