Abstract
An image pickup apparatus capable of eliminating a manual change of an image pickup direction and of easily obtaining an image while focusing attention on experience. A detection unit is worn on a body part other than a head of a user and detects an observation direction of the user. An image pickup unit is worn on the body part and picks up an image. A determination unit determines a recording direction in accordance with the observation direction. An image recording unit records an image corresponding to the recording direction from among a picked-up image. The detection unit and the image pickup unit are located on a user's median plane and under a user's jaw in a worn state where the user wears the image pickup apparatus. The detection unit is located at a nearer position to the jaw than the image pickup unit in the worn state.
