<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging apparatus that starts to transfer data that have already been transferred even when a communication state is switched, and to provide an imaging method and endoscope. <P>SOLUTION: The head separated type imaging apparatus includes a head unit and a main unit which are separated, the main unit processing an image signal transmitted from the head unit. The main unit includes: a first communication unit transmitting/receiving data to/from the head unit via wireless communication; a second communication unit transmitting/receiving data to/from the head unit via wired communication; and a control unit detecting whether the second communication unit is communicable, and continuing, when the first and second communication units are switched based on a detection result therefrom, transmission/reception of the data which is performed before the switching. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
