Claim One:
1. An electronic component mounting apparatus, comprising: a component supply unit configured to supply an electronic component; a holding unit configured to hold the electronic component supplied from the component supply unit; a movement mechanism unit configured to move the holding unit; a component imaging unit configured to image the electronic component that is held by the holding unit; a control unit configured to control an imaging form of the electronic component by the component imaging unit; and a component recognition unit configured to recognize the electronic component based on an image that is imaged by the component imaging unit, wherein the component imaging unit has at least three area cameras that include at least one imaging element, and visual fields of the imaging element are common to each other regardless of the area camera, the control unit sets the imaging form of the component imaging unit to a first imaging mode or a second imaging mode for each electronic component or each electronic component group held by the holding unit, when the imaging form is set to the first imaging mode, in the component imaging unit, the imaging element included in one of the at least three area cameras performs imaging, and the component recognition unit recognizes the electronic component that is held by the holding unit based on the imaged image, and when the imaging form is set to the second imaging mode, in the component imaging unit, each imaging element of the at least three area cameras performs imaging, and the component recognition unit recognizes the electronic component that is held by the holding unit based on each imaged image.
