The capsule endoscope 42 is equipped with a photographing element 46 which photographs the inside of the body cavity when being swallowed into the body cavity. The external unit 43 communicates with the capsule endoscope 42 while being arranged on the outside of a living body, and acquires a photographing signal which has been photographed by the photographing means 46 of the capsule endoscope. The capsule endoscope apparatus is equipped with a trigger button 62 which generates a trigger signal for starting a real time clock 63, and an SRAM 64.
