Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHA
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 10:
11. An image pickup apparatus comprising:
a lens apparatus;
a camera body configured to hold an image sensor, a detection unit; and
a control unit,
wherein the lens apparatus is attachable to the camera body, and
wherein the lens apparatus includes:
a first optical system;
a second optical system disposed in parallel with the first optical system; and
a lens mount unit configured to be attachable to and detachable from the camera body,
wherein each of the first optical system and the second optical system includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first optical axis, a second optical axis, and a third optical axis,
wherein when each of the first optical system and the second optical system rotates around the third optical axis, a distance between first optical axes of the first optical system and the second optical system changes greater than a distance between third optical axes, and
wherein the detection unit is configured to detect a position of the third optical axis,
wherein the control unit is configured to move a recording pixel range of the image sensor based on the position of the third optical axis, and
wherein a minimum value of the distance between the first optical axis of the first optical system and the first optical axis of the second optical system is larger than the distance between the third optical axis of the first optical system and the third optical axis of the second optical system.
