Electronic apparatus, image pickup apparatus, time-correcting method, and program

An imaging apparatus, comprising:

• an image pickup unit shooting a photographic subject to generate a captured video;
• a timer part measuring a time;
• a location information acquiring part that acquires location information;
• a peripheral location calculating part where a location specified by said acquired location information is provided as a reference location and a location at a predetermined distance from said reference location is calculated as a peripheral location;
• a time-difference acquiring part that acquires time differences depending on said reference location and said peripheral location;
• a determining part that determines whether said time correction should be performed based on said time difference depending on said reference location and said peripheral location on the condition that said image pickup part does not generate a captured video;
• and
• a time-correcting part that corrects said time to a time based on said time differences depending on said reference location and said peripheral location depending on a result from said determination by said determining part.

A time-correcting method comprising steps of:

• acquiring location information;
• calculating as a peripheral location a location located at a predetermined distance of a reference location provided as a location specified by said acquired location information;
• acquiring time differences depending on said reference location and said peripheral location;
• determining whether a time measured by a timer part should be corrected based on time differences of said reference location and said peripheral location;
• and
• correcting said time to a time based on a time difference of said reference location depending on a result of determination by said determination procedures.

A program allowing a computer to execute procedures, wherein said procedures include:

• location-information acquiring procedures to acquire location information;
• peripheral location calculating procedures to calculate a location located at a predetermined distance of a reference location provided as a location specified by said acquired location information as a peripheral location;
• time difference acquiring procedures to acquire time differences depending on said reference location and said peripheral location;
• determining procedures to determine whether a time measured by a timer part should be corrected based on time differences of said reference location and said peripheral location;
• and
• time-correction procedures to correct said time to a time based on a time difference of said reference location depending on a result of determination by said determination procedures.
