Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes: an image sensor configured to capture an image of a subject; an identification information storage unit configured to store a particular subject and a terminal device corresponding to the particular subject; a face detection unit and a face recognition unit configured to detect the particular subject stored in the identification information storage unit in the image captured by the image sensor; and a microcomputer configured to shoot the subject using the image sensor. When the particular subject is detected in the image captured by the image sensor, the microcomputer performs the shooting, and sends a shooting condition used for the shooting to the terminal device which is stored in the identification information storage unit and does not correspond to the shot particular subject.
