Patent ID: 8155432

Claim:
Photographing apparatus which photographs a stereographic image based on an instruction of actual photographing, and whose apparatus body includes left and right photographic optical systems set at predetermined positions of the apparatus body with their shooting directions fixed, and left and right image pickup devices that photograph the subject formed on the photo receiving surfaces by each of the photographic optical systems comprising: an attitude detecting device which detects an attitude of the apparatus body; a physical relationship information obtaining device which obtains information on a physical relationship among the photographic optical systems setting; a shooting direction information obtaining device which obtains information on the shooting direction of each of the photographic optical systems; a correction amount calculating device which calculates an amount of correction for correcting an image photographed by each of the image pickup devices via each of the photographic optical systems to a predetermined attitude based on each information obtained by collecting information on the attitude of the apparatus body obtained from the attitude detecting device, the information on the physical relationship among the photographic optical systems setting obtained from the physical relationship information obtaining device, and the information on the shooting direction of each of the photographic optical systems obtained from the shooting direction information obtaining device based on the instruction of actual photographing; and a record controlling device which records the image photographed by each of the image pickup devices via each of the photographic optical systems on a recording medium with information on the amount of correction calculated by the correction amount calculating device added based on the instruction of actual photographing.
