Patent ID: 8810685

Claim:
An imaging apparatus comprising: an imaging unit configured to perform imaging of an object and obtain image data; a first recording unit configured to acquire position information at regular intervals and record the position information in a single route log file; a second recording unit configured to, in a case that imaging is performed, acquire imaging-related position information and record the acquired imaging-related position information in such a manner that the acquired imaging-related position information is correlated with the image data obtained by the imaging unit; a receiving unit configured to receive an instruction for deleting image data; an extraction unit configured to, triggered by the receiving unit receiving the instruction for deleting the image data, extract the position information correlated with the image data instructed to be deleted; and a third recording unit configured to record the position information extracted by the extraction unit, to retain the correlation between the time the image to be deleted was obtained and the extracted position information after subsequent deletion of the image.
