Imaging system, imaging apparatus, method for controlling imaging system, method for controlling imaging apparatus, and storage medium

An imaging apparatus comprising:

• a generation unit configured to generate a periodic imaging timing synchronized with another imaging apparatus;
• a communication unit configured to transmit a trigger signal to the another imaging apparatus based on an imaging instruction;
• and
• an imaging control unit configured to perform control such that imaging is performed at the imaging timing generated by the generation unit after the trigger signal is transmitted.

An imaging apparatus comprising:

• a generation unit configured to generate a periodic imaging timing synchronized with another imaging apparatus;
• a communication unit configured to receive a trigger signal from the another imaging apparatus;
• and
• an imaging control unit configured to perform control such that imaging is performed at the imaging timing generated by the generation unit after the trigger signal is received.

A method for controlling an imaging system including a first imaging apparatus and a second imaging apparatus, the method comprising:

• causing the first imaging apparatus to generate a periodic imaging timing synchronized with the second imaging apparatus;
• causing the first imaging apparatus to transmit a trigger signal to the second imaging apparatus based on an imaging instruction;
• and
• performing control such that the first imaging apparatus performs imaging at the imaging timing generated by the first imaging apparatus after the trigger signal is transmitted, and
• causing the second imaging apparatus to generate a periodic imaging timing synchronized with the first imaging apparatus;
• causing the second imaging apparatus to receive the trigger signal from the first imaging apparatus;
• and
• performing control such that the second imaging apparatus performs imaging at the imaging timing generated by the second imaging apparatus after the trigger signal is received.

A method for controlling an imaging apparatus, the method comprising:

• generating a periodic imaging timing synchronized with another imaging apparatus;
• transmitting a trigger signal to the another imaging apparatus based on an imaging instruction;
• and
• performing control such that imaging is performed at the generated imaging timing after the trigger signal is transmitted.

• transmitting a trigger signal to the another imaging apparatus based on an imaging instruction;
• and
• performing control such that imaging is performed at the generated imaging timing after the trigger signal is transmitted.
