To faithfully record and reproduce color information of ambient light in photography along with image information and audio information.

A video signal acquired from an imaging apparatus 1, a sound signal acquired from a microphone 4, and a lighting signal acquired from a colorimeter 6 are digitized, and are supplied to a digital signal processing circuit 8. The signals, supplied to the digital signal processing circuit 8, are multiplexed for performing prescribed signal processing, such as addition of error correction codes, and are supplied to a photography information recording device 9 for recording. An image-reproducing device performs the reproduction output of a signal, based on the signal recorded to the photography information recording device 9. In this case, a luminaire is controlled, according to the lighting signal recorded along with the video and sound signals, thus reproducing a lighting environment in the photography at reproduction.
