Imaging apparatus and imaging method

Abstract

An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging section converting image light impinging thereon through a lens device into an electrical imaging signal; an imaging process section processing the imaging signal output by the imaging section; an output section converting the imaging signal processed by the imaging process section into an image signal in a predetermined format and outputting the image signal; a terminal for synchronization for connection with another imaging apparatus; and an imaging control section controlling imaging at timing in synchronism with the other imaging apparatus and putting the lens device in the same state of control as the state of control of the other imaging apparatus when the communication with the other imaging apparatus can be performed through the terminal section for synchronization.
