IMAGING APPARATUS

An imaging apparatus provided with: an imaging unit including an imaging sensor for imaging light from an object and a storage unit for storing image data generated based on an imaging signal output from the imaging sensor; and a GPS module for executing a process of calculating location information based on received data from a satellite, in which as a result of the imaging unit shifting from a low power consumption mode or a power OFF state to a normal image-capture mode, the GPS module shifts from the low power consumption mode or the power OFF state to a normal operation mode in which the process of calculating the location information is executed, and if it is not possible to perform the process of calculating the location information at the time of imaging the light from an object in the GPS module at a time point at which the light from an object is imaged after the imaging unit has been shifted to the normal image-capture mode, then image-capture-time location information obtained in consideration of at least one of pre-image-capture location information already acquired at a time point before the time of the imaging and post-image-capture location information calculated at a time point after the time of the imaging is added to the image data and stored in the storage unit, and calculation technique information indicating by which technique the image-capture-time location information has been obtained is also added to the image data and stored in the storage unit.
