The invention easily photographs a subject from plural directions collectively. When a picture photographing instruction and a moving picture photographing instruction are inputted in a master digital still camera 3 set as a master of photographing for a subject 2, the invention transmits picture photographing instruction data D13 and moving picture photographing instruction data D18 to slave digital still cameras 4A to 4N, subjects the subject 2 to picture photographing and moving picture photographing according to the picture photographing instruction data D13 and the moving picture photographing instruction data D18 with the slave digital still cameras 4A to 4N, and generates and records slave picture-photographed image data D25 and slave moving-picture-photographed image data D26 corresponding to a photographed image of the subject 2. Consequently, it is possible to photograph photographing directions different from one another collectively according to simple operation of inputting a picture photographing instruction and a moving picture photographing instruction to the master digital still camera 3. As a result, it is possible to easily photograph the subject 2 from plural directions collectively.
