The electronic camera has a release switch, an image pickup part, an extraction processing part, and an image composition part. The image pickup part performs continuous shooting according to an operation to the release switch to generate data of plural images in a multi-shooting mode. The extraction processing part changes an extracting rate according to the number of images generated and extracts data of a predetermined number of images from the generated data. The image composition part arranges the extracted image data to generate a composite image. Therefore, when the predetermined number of images are extracted at such intervals that intervals at which the images have been shot become substantially uniform, the first and last frame images in the composite image will coincide with ones which have been shot at the beginning and end of the continuous shooting. That is, the total shooting time can be arbitrarily set.
