PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a low-cost image capturing apparatus which can appropriately image a printed character on an object while the object is fast moved at a moment when the printed character is passed at a prescribed position even in the case of objects that are fast and continuously transported or objects that are fast and intermittently moved, and does not have to be adjusted when product specifications are changed. SOLUTION: This image capturing apparatus is provided with an encoder 1 provided in a transporting means for transporting the objects with a character, etc., printed, a camera 3 capable of imaging the character, etc., on the objects moved at a constant interval, and a sequencer having a interruption control program for recognizing a pulse outputted from the encoder that synchronously rotates with the transporting means, outputting a fast shutter timing signal and operating a camera trigger. The image capturing apparatus is configured so as to operate the camera trigger at the moment when the character, etc., on the object moved at the constant interval is passed through a position at which the camera can photograph the character, etc., to be able to photograph the character, etc. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
