Abstract
A digital still camera records a photographer's biological information on a photographic image reliably and protects the copyright of photographic images without affecting processing, and in a manner transparent to operation, at the time of photographing a subject. Biological information (iris information) that is registered beforehand by the photographer is recorded as personal data on an ID card. If an image is taken in a state in which the ID card bearing the recorded personal data has been inserted into the apparatus, iris information that has been sensed by an iris sensor is checked when a power supply is turned on. If the two compared items of iris information match, the personal data is added onto the image of the photographed subject.
