In addition, during the recording onto the recording medium 200, different effects such as the slow motion/quick motion/image lag effects are applied to movies, so that the user can record movies without being conscious of, during the recording, the effects to be applied to the movies. In this manner, while recording movies, only the progress of the movie recording is displayed, and neither an effect to be applied thereto nor a movie with an effect being applied is displayed. Thus, the user performs recording without being conscious of an effect. As a result, a set of movies unexpected by the user can be created. In addition, based on recorded movies, the user can obtain a set of unique movies being different from a normal movie with no effect being applied, without performing editing work of movies.
