<p>An imaging apparatus (2) comprises an image pickup part that includes an image pickup device (6) for capturing a subject light and that further includes a storing unit (12) for storing image data generated based on an image pickup signal outputted from the image pickup device (6). The imaging apparatus (2) further comprises a GPS module (22) for executing, based on data received from a satellite, a calculation of positional information. If the image pickup part transitions from a low power consumption mode or a power-off state to an ordinary imaging mode, it causes the GPS module (22) to transition from a low power consumption mode or a power-off state to an ordinary operation mode in which the GPS module (22) executes a calculation of positional information. At a moment when the image pickup part transitions to the ordinary imaging mode to capture a subject light, if no calculation of positional information of the subject light can be performed in the GPS module (22), then image-pickup-moment positional information obtained in consideration of the positional information that is to be calculated after the capture of the subject light is added to the image data and stored in the storing unit (12).</p> |
