1. An image recording apparatus comprising:

  • memory, and at least one processor coupled to the memory, and the at least one processor having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor cause the image recording apparatus to function as;

    a determination unit configured to determine whether an input image is an ordinary rectangular image or a surrounding image depending on black distribution in the input image;

    a development unit configured to generate a developed image obtained by developing the surrounding image in a circumferential direction; and

    a control unit configured to record the input image on a recording medium that is detachable from the image recording apparatus,wherein when the input image is determined as being the surrounding image, the control unit performs control so that the developed image is generated by the development unit, and is recorded on the recording medium, and when the input image is determined as not being the surrounding image, the control unit performs control so that the input image is recorded on the recording medium without generating the developed image by the development unit, andwherein, in a case where the input image is an input image captured in a firework imaging mode or a nightscape imaging mode, determination by the determination unit is not performed, and the control unit performs control so that the input image is recorded on the recording medium without generating the developed image.
