STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE, AND STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE CAPTURING METHOD

摘要

A stereoscopic image capturing apparatus which is capable of capturing a stereoscopic image including a left-eye image and a right-eye image. The stereoscopic image capturing apparatus includes: a stereoscopic image imaging unit including a first image capturing unit which is operable to capture the left-eye image and a second image capturing unit which is operable to capture the right-eye image; a display unit which is operable to display information; and a controller which is operable to control the stereoscopic image imaging unit and the display unit, in which: the controller derives a subject distance that satisfies a prescribed condition for parallax of a subject in the stereoscopic image based on information on a horizontal angle of view and a convergence angle of the stereoscopic image imaging unit; and the display unit displays information on the subject distance derived by the controller.
