To start recording of a moving image with appropriate timing.

An imaging apparatus 1 comprises detection means 1a and 1b and recording means 1c. The detection means 1a detects a motion 3 of a subject 2 and generates first motion information. The detection means 1b detects a motion 4 of the imaging apparatus 1 and generates second motion information. The recording means 1c starts recording of the moving image on the basis of the first motion information generated by the detection means 1a and the second motion information generated by the detection means 1b.
