摘要

An image capturing apparatus includes camera, control and display modules. The camera module includes a camera unit adapted to generate an image output, a first motor coupled to the camera unit for controlling movement of the camera unit in a first direction, and a second motor coupled to the camera unit for controlling movement of the camera unit in a second direction transverse to the first direction. The control module is coupled electrically to the camera module, and controls operation of the first and second motors and image capturing operation of the camera unit. The display module is coupled electrically to the camera unit for receiving the image output and for displaying images corresponding to the image output thereon.
