In generating stereo image data on the basis of a plurality of monocular images of the same subject with a predetermined parallax, a metadata generating section generates collateral data, related to stereo image data, and an image file generating section generates information related to a date and time at which collateral data was generated or updated. Stereo image data and collateral data are synthesized into an image file. Information, related to a date and time at which collateral data was generated or updated, and information, related to a date and time at which the image file is generated or updated, are further added for conversion to a predetermined file format to generate the image file. Using information related to such date and time makes it possible to appropriately process, edit and reproduce a subsequent stereo image even under a situation where the stereo image is processed and edited with non-3D-compliant equipment or software. |
