To allow the manufacturing date of a camera module to be confirmed without opening the case of a video camera.

The video camera comprises a camera section for generating a synchronization pulse signal used for scanning a screen for displaying an image, a storage section for storing the manufacturing information of the video camera, a control section for reading the manufacturing information from the storage section at specific timing based on the synchronization pulse signal, and an impose section for synthesizing the manufacturing information that is read by the control section on a video signal from the camera section, thus conforming the manufacturing date without opening the case of the video camera by conforming the video signal by synthesizing the video signal and the manufacturing information.
