Image taking apparatus

An image taking apparatus comprising:

• a first optical unit for forming an image;
• a second optical unit positioned on the optical axis of said first optical unit;
• a third optical unit positioned behind said second optical unit and having plural lens units, forming a plurality of optical axes, for reforming a part of the image of said first optical unit;
• a plurality of conversion means, each said conversion means converting one of said plural images formed by said third optical unit into electrical signals;
• process means for processing the electrical signals from said conversion means in order to obtain an image of high definition,
• wherein each of plural optical axes of said third optical unit does not coincide with that of said first optical unit,
• a fourth optical unit positioned on the optical axis of the first optical unit, and a
• second conversion means provided at the position of an optical image formed by said fourth optical unit and adapted to convert said optical image into electrical signals.
