PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide users with capturing points at tourist sites or the like by using a smaller amount of data. SOLUTION: An image capturing unit 31 captures a subject, a position detection unit 39 detects a self position, a direction detection unit 41 detects a direction in which the subject to be taken faces during capturing of the subject, and a view angle detection unit 40 detects a view angle of an image to be taken. A recommended composition information obtaining unit 43 obtains recommended composition information including a recommended view angle and a recommended direction of the image to be taken at the position, based on the detected position. A view angle comparison unit 44 compares a detected view angle with the recommended view angle. A view angle control unit 36 adjusts the detected view angle in response to the results of comparison by the view angle comparison unit 44. A direction comparison unit 45 compares a detected direction with the recommended direction. A display control unit 33 provides information for instructing the change of a direction in which the subject to be taken faces during capturing of the subject in response to the results of the comparison by the direction comparison unit 45. The present invention is applicable to, for example, an image capturing apparatus including a digital camera. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
