Imaging apparatus, electronic device, and method of transmitting image data

An imaging apparatus to be remotely controlled by an external electronic device includes: a communication unit that communicates with the electronic device; an imaging unit that captures a moving image of a subject to generate moving image data from which still image data is to be extracted; a storage unit that stores, in a recording medium, the moving image data generated by the imaging unit; and a control unit that controls an operation of the imaging apparatus. The control unit performs a process of generating the moving image data in response to a first request from the electronic device and generating the still image data by extracting at least one frame image from the moving image data stored in the recording medium, in response to a second request from the electronic device, and causes the communication unit to transmit the generated still image data to the electronic device.
