1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
- image pickup means for picking up an image of an object, said image pickup means including object distance detecting means for detecting an object distance as a distance to the object and picking up the image of the object in accordance with the object distance;
information detecting means for reading, in a contactless manner, object information regarding the object from a contactless ID tag by transmitting a radio wave toward the object, said information detecting means reading from the objects of different object distance by changing a power of the radio wave which is transmitted toward the object; and
recording means for selecting the object information of the object distance detected by said object distance detecting means from the object information read by said information detecting means according to the object distance detected by the object distance detecting means and for recording the selected object information onto a recording medium together with image data of the object picked up by said image pickup means.
