Abstract:
1. A camera apparatus for motion photography, comprising: a first camera having a first entrance pupil wherein, during forward motion of the camera apparatus, the first camera captures a first image; a second camera having a second entrance pupil wherein, during the forward motion of the camera apparatus, the second camera captures a second image, wherein the forward motion of the camera apparatus results in motion parallax; and a controller that (i) determines, based on a velocity value of the camera apparatus and a distance between the first and second cameras, a delay time between when the first camera captures a first image and when the second camera captures the second image such that the motion of the camera apparatus occurring during the determined delay time is used to reduce the effect of spatial parallax between the first camera and the second camera and (ii) signals the second camera to capture the second image at a time when the determined delay time elapses after the first camera captures the first image.
