Image production device, image production method, and program for driving computer to execute image production method

Abstract

The total imaging time period and recorded volume of each image is displayed in association with the imaging date and time of the image. Information on the imaging dates and times and recorded volumes of images is acquired. A period setting part sets the period of a period display. An imaging start position deciding section decides the position corresponding to the imaging start date and time of each image in the period display. An imaging time length deciding section decides the display range of the imaging time length of each image in the period display. A recorded volume length deciding section decides the display range of the recorded volume length of each image. Based on these decision results, an imaging position display is created in which the imaging start positions, and the imaging time lengths or the recorded volumes, of the images are displayed relative to the period display.
