DIGITAL IMAGE-CAPTURING DEVICE, METHOD FOR RECORDING IMAGE-CAPTURING INFORMATION, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM
According to the present invention, upon determining that a number that is temporarily stored at the point in time in which image data is picked up is the same as the number of a first image-capturing location, and that the image data was initially captured at the first image-capturing location, a control unit of a digital image-capturing device associates the number of the first image-capturing location with the picked-up image data, and adds the number of the first image-capturing location as image-capturing location sequence information in a recording unit. Upon determining that the number that is temporarily stored at the point in time in which image data is picked up is different from any of the numbers of a plurality of image-capturing locations, and that the image data is one that was initially captured at a subsequent image-capturing location, which is the next image-capturing location after the first image-capturing location, the control unit associates the number of the image-capturing location, including the number of the first image-capturing location, with the picked-up image data as the number of the subsequent image-capturing location, and adds the number of the subsequent image-capturing location as the image-capturing location sequence information in the recording unit.
