Image capturing system, image capturing device, and image capturing method

摘要

To enable satisfactory simultaneous and widely varied pictures to be obtained, for example, by allowing a common user to obtain an overall picture while the common user performing desired image capturing, or the like. A first image capturing device image-captures a subject to record this image, and also transmits a trigger signal to a second image capturing device. The second image capturing device image-captures an image to record this image in accordance with the trigger signal. Thus, the first and second image capturing devices enable both of an overall image and a zoomed image to be obtained with simultaneous timing.

1. A first image capturing device comprising:
circuitry configured to
capture a first image of an object in response to a capturing operation,generate first meta-data related to the first image,record the first image in association with the first meta-data on a first recording medium, andtransmit the first meta-data and a trigger signal to a second image capturing device which independently captures a second image of a scene, including the object, and records the second image on a second recording medium, wherein the second image capturing device records the received first meta-data in association with the second image in response to receiving the trigger signal, and wherein at least the trigger signal is automatically transmitted in response to the capturing operation.
