A camera includes an image sensing unit that generates unprocessed image data, an image processing unit that processes the unprocessed image data, an embedding unit that embeds first additional information in the processed image data using a digital watermarking technique, an attaching unit and a recording unit. The attaching unit attaches the first and second additional information to the unprocessed image data. The second additional information indicates to an external device that if the device generates processed image data from the unprocessed image data, it is to embed the first additional information in the processed image data using the digital watermarking technique. The recording unit records the processed image data, in which the first additional information is embedded, to a removable recording medium, in a first image recording mode, and records the unprocessed image data, to which the first and second additional information are attached, to the removable recording medium, in a second image recording mode.
