Abstract
An image pickup apparatus capable of associating a shooter with a shot image in consideration of shooter's intention. The image pickup apparatus has a first image pickup unit that shoots a subject to obtain a first image and a second image pickup unit that shoots a shooter to obtain a second image. An identification unit identifies a person existing in the first image to obtain first identification information and identifies a person existing in the second image to obtain second identification information. A recording unit records the second identification information as shooter information in metadata of the first image, together with the second image. If, after the person existing in the second image is identified, the same person as the person identified from the second image is identified from the first image, identification information about the same person is recorded as the shooter information in the metadata.
