Abstract
An aspect of the invention provides a composite camera system that comprises a first camera including a first imaging unit; a second camera including a second imaging unit; a mount unit configured to detachably mount thereon the first camera and the second camera, wherein scenes captured by the first imaging unit and second imaging unit in a mounted state coincide with each other in vertical position; and a creation unit configured to create a three-dimensional image on the basis of images representing the scenes captured by the first imaging unit and the second imaging unit in the mounted state.

A composite camera system comprising:
- a first electronic camera including a first imaging unit;
- a second electronic camera including a second imaging unit;
- a mount unit that detachably mounts thereon the first electronic camera and the second electronic camera, wherein scenes captured by the first imaging unit and second imaging unit in a mounted state coincide with each other in vertical position;
- and
- a creation unit that creates a three-dimensional image on the basis of images representing the scenes captured by the first imaging unit and the second imaging unit in the mounted state.
A composite camera system comprising:
- a first camera detachably mountable on the composite camera system, the first camera comprising
- a first imaging unit,
- a first interface that transfers, to a second camera, first image data captured by the first imaging unit when connected to the second camera, and
- a first processor that controls the first imaging unit;
- the second camera comprising
- a second imaging unit,
- a mount unit that mounts the first camera thereon, wherein scenes captured by the first imaging unit and the second imaging unit in a mounted state coincide with each other in vertical position,
- a second interface connected to the first interface to receive the first image data in the mounted state,
- a second processor that controls the second imaging unit, and
- a creation unit that receives the first image data and second image data captured by the second imaging unit, and creates a three-dimensional image on the basis of the first image data and the second image data in the mounted state.
