In addition, in one chapter of the creative movie recording, there is a period with any of the above-described slow motion effect, quick motion effect, image lag effect, and the like, and a period with no effect. The one chapter therefore includes various changes and effects that are visually identifiable. In the slow motion effect, a frame rate of a recorded movie is set to be low. In contrast, in the quick motion effect, a frame rate of a recorded movie is set to be high. In addition, the image lag effect is an effect of visualizing a residual image by superimposing the state of an object that is obtained a little while ago, onto the object being captured so that the object leaves the trail in an opposite direction to a moving direction of the object. Furthermore, possible effects to be applied to a movie are as follows: an effect of rotating an image at a predetermined speed by a predetermined angle; a color effect of changing an image color from a predetermined color to another predetermined color; and an effect of gradually changing a color tone of an image. Unlike capturing and recording of a movie in the automatic mode, in the creative image capturing mode, an effect that attracts user's attention is applied to the recorded movie to be recorded. For example, one chapter includes a period with the slow motion effect, a period with no effect, and a period with the image lag effect. In this manner, in the case of setting an effect simultaneously with the start of movie recording, and recording a movie while changing an effect to be applied, if the recording of the movie is interrupted, an effect to be applied to the movie recorded before the lapse of a set period is also interrupted. Thus, even when a period is set in such a manner that an effect interesting for the user is applied, if the recording is interrupted, a movie with strangeness (uncompleted chapter) may be generated. For example, even when the image lag effect is set to be applied for 2 seconds, only 0.3-second image lag effect may be applied. Thus, in the present exemplary embodiment, the description will be given of a configuration for preventing the user from casually issuing a recording end instruction in the creative shot movie recording.
