Abstract
An image capturing apparatus capable of guaranteeing the authenticity of a person existing in an image as an object. The image capturing apparatus has an image capturing section that captures an image of an object to generate an image data item. A biometric information acquisition section detects biometric information of the object. A biometric authentication section acquires a biometric authentication result indicating whether or not the detected biometric information matches registered biometric information registered in advance. A hash value generation section generates a hash value from the image data item in a case where the biometric authentication result indicates that the biometric information and the registered biometric information match. The hash value and the image data are recorded in a recording medium. When the image of the object is captured by the image capturing section, biometric information of the object is detected.
