Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus has a synchronizing signal generator to which a trigger signal is input and that outputs a first synchronizing signal and a second synchronizing signal based on the trigger signal, an image pickup unit that has an image pickup surface, performs a first image picking-up based on the first synchronizing signal, and performs a second image picking-up based on the second synchronizing signal, and an image pickup element tilting unit that changes the angle of the image pickup surface relative to the optical axis during a period after the first image picking-up and before the second image picking-up.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image pickup apparatus comprising: a synchronizing signal generator to which a trigger signal is input and that outputs a first synchronizing signal and a second synchronizing signal based on the trigger signal; an image pickup unit that has an image pickup surface, performs a first image picking-up in response to the first synchronizing signal, and performs a second image picking-up in response to the second synchronizing signal; and an image pickup…
