To appropriately prevent an image with disadvantageous or inappropriate imaged content from being transmitted when such imaged content is generated in a use case such as real-time distribution of a captured image, and to prevent mistrust of a viewer due to malfunction or the like. Therefore, a transmission unit is caused to execute transmission of a first image that is delayed by a delay processing unit. If a switching trigger is detected during this time, the image that the transmission unit is caused to transmit is switched from a first image to a second image that is reproduced by a reproduction unit.
