To provide an imaging apparatus capable of facilitating the selection of a desired moving image file.
A thumbnail character string is generated via text conversion from sound for thumbnails produced by a photographer while the moving image is photographed, and is related to a thumbnail image for recording. When the thumbnail image is displayed, the thumbnail character string is displayed with the thumbnail image. The signal component of the sound for thumbnails is removed from a sound signal for indicating peripheral sound in photography, and the sound signal from which the signal component for the sound for thumbnail is removed is recorded on a memory card with the video signal as a final sound signal.
