- a setting unit that accepts setting of a number of channels for sound signals to be recorded;
a selector that selects the sound signals having the number of channels; and
a control unit that controls recording of the selected sound signals,wherein the control unit is configured to operate at time of recording the sound signals, such that;
when the number of channels is set to two, the control unit, according to a first format, records sound data generated based on the selected sound signals for two channels, on one sound track included in a video file, andwherein the control unit is configured also to carry out, at time of recording the sound signals, the following operation when the number of channels is set to four;
the control unit, according to the first format, records third sound data generated based on one set of sound signals for two channels selected out of sets of the selected sound signals for four channels, in a first video file such that the third sound data is associated with first image data, and, according to a fourth format different from the first format, records also fourth sound data generated based on an other set of sound signal for remaining two channels selected out of the sets of the selected sound signals for four channels, in a second video file such that the fourth sound data is associated with second image data different from the first image data.
