According to the present invention, a reduced image is generated only from one of high-sensitivity image information or low-sensitivity image information when RAW data is recorded, and the reduced image is recorded on a recording medium together with the RAW data (first and second RAW data). Thereby, it is possible to create the reduced image in a relatively short time. In this case, if a reduced image is generated from the high-sensitivity image information, a high-contrast image with a desirable S/N ratio can be acquired. If a reduced image is generated from the low-sensitivity image information, an image appropriately representing the content of a reproduction area of the RAW data can be acquired. |
