Abstract
An image pickup apparatus that records a picked-up image and time information indicating when the picked-up image was picked up includes a unit that obtains location information and UTC and generates positioning information indicating the obtained result, a unit that determines the time difference between the time corresponding to the location information and UTC using the location information, a unit that calculates the local time of a location indicated by the location information using UTC and the time difference, and a unit that performs correction of a system time of the image pickup apparatus when the time difference between the system time and the local time exceeds a predetermined time period and that causes the correction of the system time to be delayed until after the completion of a recording operation of the picked-up image when the recording operation is being performed.
