Multi-eye image pick-up apparatus with immediate image pick-up

摘要

In a multi-eye image pick-up apparatus, an optical axis angle controller sets the optical axes of first and second video camera portions at predetermined optical axis angles when a power supply voltage for allowing an image pick-up operation is supplied. When the optical axes of the first and second video camera portions do not cross each other at a position in front of the apparatus, in-focus detection is performed using an overlapping region between image pick-up regions of the first and second video camera portions.
