IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR OPTICAL AXIS CORRECTION OF THE SAME

摘要

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image capturing apparatus for inexpensively correcting the position deviation of a zoom imaging unit with a simple configuration. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The image capturing apparatus 100 includes: a wide-angle imaging unit 1; a zoom imaging unit 2; a driving unit 3 that rotates the zoom imaging unit to change an imaging range of the zoom imaging unit 2; an image comparison unit 72 that compares a partial image of a wide-angle image captured by the wide-angle imaging unit 1 and a magnified image captured by the zoom imaging unit 2; and an optical axis information update unit 73 that updates optical axis information of the zoom imaging unit 2, based on a comparison result of the image comparison unit 72.
