Image pickup control apparatus, image pickup apparatus, control method for image pickup control apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium

An image pickup apparatus, comprising:

• at least one lens configured to capture a plurality of pieces of image data;
• and
• a signal processor configured to execute compound processing that synthesizes the plurality of pieces of image data or monocular processing that carries out processing on any one of the plurality of pieces of image data;
• and
• a controller configured to cause the signal processor to execute either the compound processing or the monocular processing, on a basis of a result of a comparison between a physical amount and a threshold value.

An image pickup control apparatus, comprising:

• a signal processor configured to synthesize a plurality of pieces of image data to produce synthesized image data;
• a transmission unit configured to execute either single-channel transmission processing for transmitting the synthetized image data together with any one piece of image data of the plurality of pieces of image data via a single communication channel or multiple-channel transmission processing for respectively transmitting the any one piece of image data and the synthetized image data via mutually different communication channels;
• and
• a controller configured to cause the signal processor to execute either the single-channel transmission processing or the multiple-channel transmission processing, on a basis of a result of a comparison between a physical amount and a threshold value.
