Apparatus, method, and recording medium containing program for photographing

A method, comprising:

• acquiring live view data and actually-photographed image data representing a subject;
• analyzing the acquired live view data and recognizing a plurality of scenes representing the subject;
• selecting a plurality of photographing modes corresponding to the plurality of recognized scenes based on a correspondence relationship of a database of the correspondence relationship between scene recognition results and corresponding photographing modes defining photographing conditions;
• recording the plurality of selected photographing modes selected for each actually-photographed image data when the actually photographed image data are obtained, correlated with the actually-photographed image data acquired in the selected photographing mode;
• specifying a photographing mode for playing back the recorded actually-photographed image data;
• and
• searching out all the actually-photographed image data which are correlated with the specified photographing mode and to control playback to play back the searched-out actually-photographed image data,
• the acquiring the live view data and the actually-photographed image data carrying out continuous shooting operations for a number of images captured in the continuous shooting operations that is equal to a number of photographing modes selected by the selecting of the plurality of photographing modes to obtain a plurality of sets of the actually photographed image data, and
• the recording the plurality of selected photographing modes recording each of the plurality of the actually photographed image data obtained by the acquiring the live view data and the actually-photographed image data, correlated with all of the plurality of photographing modes selected by the selecting of the plurality of photographing modes.

A non-transitory recording medium containing a program for causing a computer to carry out a method comprising:

• acquiring live view data and actually-photographed image data representing a subject;
• analyzing the acquired live view data and recognizing a plurality of scenes representing the subject;
• selecting a plurality of photographing modes corresponding to the plurality of recognized scenes based on a correspondence relationship of a database of the correspondence relationship between scene recognition results and corresponding photographing modes defining photographing conditions;
• recording the plurality of selected photographing modes selected for each actually-photographed image data when the actually photographed image data are obtained, correlated with the actually-photographed image data acquired in the selected photographing mode;
• specifying a photographing mode for playing back the recorded actually-photographed image data;
• and
• searching out all the actually-photographed image data which are correlated with the specified photographing mode and to control playback to play back the searched-out actually-photographed image data,
• the acquiring the live view data and the actually-photographed image data carrying out continuous shooting operations for a number of images captured in the continuous shooting operations that is equal to a number of photographing modes selected by the selecting of the plurality of photographing modes to obtain a plurality of sets of the actually photographed image data, and
• the recording the plurality of selected photographing modes recording each of the plurality of the actually photographed image data obtained by the acquiring the live view data and the actually-photographed image data, correlated with all of the plurality of photographing modes selected by the selecting of the plurality of photographing modes.
