wherein the second output unit outputs information indicating the first region together with the image data on the second region.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the at least one memory and the at least one processor further function as an addition unit configured to add metadata including the information indicating the first region to the image data on the second region, and
the second output unit outputs image data on the second region to which the metadata has been added.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:
each of the input image data, the image data on the first region, and the image data on the second region is moving image data;
the first region is changeable; and
the second output unit outputs, together with moving image data on the second region, information indicating a plurality of first regions respectively corresponding to a plurality of frames in the moving image data.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the second output unit outputs, for each frame in the moving image data on the second region, information indicating a first region corresponding to the frame together with image data on the second region at the frame.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the at least one memory and the at least one processor further function as a selection unit configured to select, as the first region, any one of a plurality of set regions that are set for the input image data.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the second output unit outputs, together with the image data on the second region, information indicating the plurality of set regions such that the first region is identifiable.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the at least one memory and the at least one processor further function as a setting unit configured to set a resolution of the image data on the second region in accordance with an instruction from a user, and
the resolution set by the setting unit is limited to be equal to or higher than a predetermined resolution.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the at least one memory and the at least one processor further function as:
a setting unit configured to set a resolution of the image data on the second region in accordance with an instruction from a user; and
a control unit configured to perform control to perform a notification to prompt the user to set the resolution of the image data on the second region to be a predetermined resolution or higher.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the second region is an entire region of the input image data.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:
the second region is a region of a part of the input image data; and
the second output unit outputs relative information indicating the first region with reference to the second region together with the image data on the second region.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:
the first output unit outputs image data on the first region or image data on a third region;
the second output unit outputs image data on the second region or image data on a fourth region;
the fourth region is a region of a part of the input image data;
the third region is a region that includes the fourth region;
in a case where the first output unit outputs the image data on the first region and the second output unit outputs the second region, the second output unit outputs information indicating the first region together with the image data on the second region; and
in a case where the first output unit outputs the image data on the third region and the second output unit outputs the fourth region, the first output unit outputs information indicating the fourth region together with the image data on the third region.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)
