To distribute a pickup image to a person existing in the pickup image.
In a digital camera 15, a face recognition part 2a recognizes facial information of the person included in the pickup image picked up by an imaging part 1 and a radio part 10 transmits the facial information to a server 12, In the server 12, a facial portrait and an e-mail address of the person existing in the pickup image are acquired based on the received facial information to transmit them to the digital camera 15. In the digital camera 15, a RISC 4 notifies a user of the information received from the server 12 by displaying it on a display part 11 and determines whether or not a received result from the server 12 is correct based on a response from the user with respect to the notification. When the received result is correct, the radio part 10 transmits the pickup image using the e-mail address as a transmitting destination.
