3-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE CAPTURING METHOD

摘要

The present invention is a 3-dimensional image capturing method and a 3-dimensional image capturing apparatus for capturing a 3-dimensional image including a left eye image and a right eye image that are 2-dimensional images having parallax with each other. In the invention, an optical axis of an image capturing optical system of the image capturing apparatus is shifted between a first optical axis and a second optical axis whose image capturing ranges overlap at least partly, without moving the image capturing apparatus itself, and in the shift of the optical axis, one of the left eye image and the right eye image is captured at the timing when the optical axis of the image capturing optical system is being the first optical axis, and the other of the left eye image and the right eye image is captured at the timing when the optical axis of the image capturing optical system is being the second optical axis.
