Abstract
An image pickup apparatus includes an image processing unit for extracting an image parameter indicating a change in shooting condition from an image signal obtained by shooting an object; an audio processing unit for extracting an audio parameter indicating a change in shooting condition from an audio signal obtained by taking audio; and a specific ID information processing unit for extracting a state parameter indicating a change in shooting condition on the basis of information indicating a physiological change of an operator; and the extracted parameter is compared with a predetermined decision threshold to determine whether a shoot timing at which is parameter occurs is appropriate as an edition point or not.
