Photographing apparatus and method

A photographing apparatus comprising:

• a first photographing device for converting incident light from an object through a first optical system to an electric signal;
• a second photographing device for converting incident light from the object through a second optical system to an electric signal;
• an image signal processing unit for generating a first image signal corresponding to the electric signal converted by the first photographing device and a second image signal corresponding to the electric signal converted by the second photographing device;
• and
• an exposure control unit for controlling a first exposure start time of the first photographing device and a second exposure start time of the second photographing device and controlling the exposure start time of any one of the first photographing device and the second photographing device has the same timing as that of the other one of the first photographing device and the second photographing device.

A photographing method comprising:

• converting light received through a first optical system from an object to an electric signal using a first photographing device;
• converting light received from the object through a second optical system to an electric signal using a second photographing device;
• generating a first image signal based on the electric signal converted by the first photographing device and a second signal based on the electric signal converted by the second photographing device;
• and
• controlling a first exposure start time of the first photographing device and a second exposure start time of the second photographing device to be different from each other.

A photographing method comprising:

• converting light received from an object through a first optical system to an electric signal using a first photographing device;
• converting light received from the object through a second optical system to an electric signal using a second photographing device;
• generating a first image signal based on the electric signal converted by the first photographing device and a second signal based on the electric signal converted by the second photographing device;
• controlling a first exposure start time of the first photographing device and a second exposure start time of the second photographing device;
• and
• controlling the exposure start time of any one of the first photographing device and the second photographing device has the same timing as that of the other one of the first photographing device and the second photographing device.

A computer program product, comprising a computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a photographing method, said method comprising:

• converting light received through a first optical system from an object to an electric signal using a first photographing device;
• converting light received from the object through a second optical system to an electric signal using a second photographing device;
• generating a first image signal based on the electric signal converted by the first photographing device and a second signal based on the electric signal converted by the second photographing device;
• and
• controlling a first exposure start time of the first photographing device and a second exposure start time of the second photographing device to be different from each other.
