Abstract
An image captured by a camera having a fixed imaging range and an image captured by a camera capable of changing an imaging range are appropriately distributed. An imaging apparatus includes a plurality of first imaging units, a second imaging unit configured to be capable of changing an imaging range, and a distribution unit configured to distribute a plurality of first captured images in a sequence based on a region.
Claims8
An imaging apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of first imaging units configured to capture a plurality of first images corresponding to a plurality of positions to be captured, the plurality of positions being different from each other, the plurality of first images being combined in an external apparatus and to be displayed in a first area in a display screen;
- an accepting unit configured to accept specification of a position overlapping at least one of the plurality of positions;
- a second imaging unit configured to be capable of changing a position to be captured, the second imaging unit being configured to capture a second image corresponding to the specified position specified by the specification in response to the specification, the second image to be displayed in a second area in the display screen, and the second area being different from the first area;
- and
- a distribution unit configured to distribute, in order of distribution, to the external apparatus at least the plurality of first images,
- wherein the distribution unit changes the order of distribution and distributes to the external apparatus the plurality of first images in the changed order of distribution, in response to the specification accepted by the accepting unit.

A control method for an imaging apparatus, the control method comprising:
- capturing a plurality of first images corresponding to a plurality of positions to be captured, the plurality of positions being different from each other, the plurality of first images being combined in an external apparatus and to be displayed in a first area in a display screen;
- accepting specification of a position overlapping at least one of the plurality of positions;
- changing a position to be captured and capturing a second image corresponding to the specified position in response to the specification, the second image being displayed in a second area in the display screen, and the second area being different from the first area;
- and
- distributing, in order of distribution, to the external apparatus at least the plurality of first images,
- wherein the distribution changes the order of distribution and distributes to the external apparatus the plurality of first images in the changed order of distribution, in response to the accepted specification.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute:
- capturing a plurality of first images corresponding to a plurality of positions to be captured, the plurality of positions being different from each other, the plurality of first images being combined in an external apparatus and to be displayed in a first area in a display screen;
- accepting specification of a position overlapping at least one of the plurality of positions;
- changing a position to be captured and capturing a second image corresponding to the specified position, the second image to be displayed in a second area in the display screen, and the second area being different from the first area;
- and
- distributing, in order of distribution, to the external apparatus at least the plurality of first images,
- wherein the distribution changes the order of distribution and distributes to the external apparatus the plurality of first images in the changed order of distribution, in response to the accepted specification.
