Abstract:
1. An image sensing apparatus which performs a plurality of times of image sensing on a subject, superpose-combines a plurality of subject images obtained by the image sensing into one subject image, comprising: an image sensing unit that converts a subject optical image into an electric signal; an optical unit that changes a view angle; and a change unit that changes a position of said optical unit so as to widen the view angle by a predetermined amount, prior to said plurality of times of image sensing on the subject, wherein the image sensing apparatus is operative in a mode to perform image sensing on the subject once and obtain one subject image, and if a mode to perform a plurality of times of image sensing on the subject then superpose-combine a plurality of subject images obtained by the image sensing into one subject image is set, said change unit changes the position of said optical unit so as to widen the view angle by the predetermined amount, prior to said plurality of times of image sensing on the subject.
