Even when a posture of an imaging device changes, the imaging device can display a compass image in a natural mode when seen from a user's viewpoint and record a correct image capturing azimuth. Provided is an imaging device including: an image capturing unit which captures an image of a subject and outputs the captured image; an azimuth calculating unit which calculates an azimuth of the image capturing unit in an image capturing direction, based on geomagnetism information detected by a geomagnetic sensor and acceleration information detected by an acceleration sensor; an azimuth converting unit which calculates a rotation angle of the imaging device in a roll direction, based on the acceleration information, and converts the azimuth in the image capturing direction into a display azimuth based on the rotation angle in the roll direction; a display unit which displays a compass image representing the display azimuth and the captured image; and a recording unit which associates azimuth information representing the azimuth in the image capturing direction, with the captured image to record in a recording medium.

An information processing apparatus that has a frame buffer that stores an input video signal, that loads a video signal at an asynchronous timing with the video signal input from the frame buffer and then that I/P-converts the loaded video signal from an interlaced signal into a progressive signal includes: pulldown determination means that determines whether the input video signal is subjected to a process of skipping or repeating a source video signal through a pulldown process; and control means that, when it is determined that the input video signal is subjected to the process of skipping or repeating, controls a process of skipping or repeating the loaded video signal to obtain a pulldown pattern supported at an I/P conversion side at which the I/P-conversion is performed, when the loaded video signal is converted from an interlaced signal into a progressive signal.
