Abstract
An image-capturing apparatus includes an image-capturing device; a detecting unit configured to detect a facial direction of a user with respect to the image-capturing apparatus; a setting unit configured to set a clipping range in each frame image in a moving image that is image-captured by the image-capturing device, on the basis of the facial direction that is detected; and a generating unit that is configured to generate a clipped moving image from the clipping range. The generating unit generates the clipped moving image by changing the clipping range set with respect to a frame image in an action period, during which the user performs an action of directing a face toward a display device communicably connected to the image-capturing apparatus, to the clipping range set with respect to a frame image from before the action period starting.
