Patent ID: 7679645

Claim:
An image sensing system comprising: an image sensing element for photoelectrically converting incoming light from an image sensing optical system into an image signal; one memory device provided in an image sensing unit for storing error information of the image sensing element and another memory device provided in the image sensing optical system for storing error information of the image sensing optical system, where the error information in the one memory includes an adjustment amount of the image sensing element and the error information in the another memory includes an adjustment amount of the image sensing optical system for a plurality of temperatures; one temperature detector provided in the image sensing unit for detecting temperatures of the image sensing element and another temperature detector provided in the image sensing optical system for detecting temperatures of the image sensing optical system; and an adjusting unit for adjusting a relative position of the image sensing element and the image sensing optical system based on the error information read from the one memory device and the another memory device associated with the temperatures of the respective image sensing element and the image sensing optical system detected by the respective one temperature detector and another temperature detector.
