Abstract
An image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing device for generating image data, a line-of-sight-direction/angular velocity detecting portion for detecting biological information, such as the direction of a line of sight of a photographer or the angular velocity of the head of the photographer, when the photographer observes a subject, and a controller/recorder. Among those elements, the image capturing device and the line-of-sight-direction/angular-velocity detecting portion are worn on the head of the photographer. The controller/recorder records, in a recording memory, the image data and the biological information in association with each other together with time information concerning a time at which the image data is obtained and a time at which the biological information is obtained. Then, based on the recorded biological information, the recorded image data is edited.
