Camera operation terminal, camera, imaging system, imaging method, and computer-readable device

An imaging system comprising:

• a camera operating terminal;
• and
• a camera,
• wherein the camera operating terminal includes
• a first imaging element of which a visual field range is adjusted so as to overlap at least a portion of a visual field range of the camera, and which generates a first imaging data,
• a first communication interface that wirelessly communicates with the camera,
• a display interface that displays an image,
• an operation interface that receives a user's operation,
• a display control section that causes the display interface to display an image corresponding to the first imaging data before the first communication interface starts wireless reception of a second imaging data which is wirelessly transmitted from the camera, and causes the display interface to display an image corresponding to the second imaging data wirelessly received by the first communication interface after the first communication interface starts the wireless reception of the second imaging data,
• a parameter generating section that generates imaging parameter when an instruction for the imaging parameters is input by the operation interface being operated in a state where the image corresponding to the first imaging data is displayed on the display interface, and
• a first communication control section that causes the first communication interface to wirelessly transmit the imaging parameter generated by the parameter generating section to the camera, and causes the first communication interface to wirelessly receive the second imaging data, and
• wherein the camera includes
• a second imaging element that generates a third imaging data,
• a second communication interface that wirelessly communicates with the camera operating terminal,
• an imaging control section that sets imaging parameters received by the second communication interface in the second imaging element when the second communication interface wirelessly receives the imaging parameter from the camera operating terminal, and controls an operation of the second imaging element, and
• a second communication control section that causes the second communication interface to wirelessly receive the imaging parameters which are wirelessly transmitted from the camera operating terminal, and causes the second communication interface to wirelessly transmit the third imaging data in which the imaging parameters received by the second communication interface are set, to the camera operating terminal.

An imaging method comprising:

• a step of causing a display interface of a camera operating terminal to display an image corresponding to a first imaging data generated by a first imaging element of the camera operating terminal of which a visual field range is adjusted so as to overlap at least a portion of a visual field range of a camera, before a first communication interface of the camera operating terminal starts wireless reception of a second imaging data which is wirelessly transmitted from the camera;
• a step of causing a parameter generating section of the camera operating terminal to generates imaging parameters when an instruction for the imaging parameters is input by an operation interface of the camera operating terminal being operated in a state where the image corresponding to the first imaging data is displayed on the display interface,
• a step of causing the first communication interface to wirelessly transmit the imaging parameters generated by the parameter generating section to the camera,
• a step of causing a second communication interface of the camera to wirelessly receive the imaging parameters wirelessly transmitted from the camera operating terminal,
• a step of causing an imaging control section of the camera to set the imaging parameters received by the second communication interface in an second imaging element of the camera, and to control an operation of the second imaging element,
• a step of causing the second communication interface to wirelessly transmit a fourth imaging data, generated by the second imaging element in which the imaging parameters received by the second communication interface are set, to the camera operating terminal,
• a step of causing the first communication interface to wirelessly receive the second imaging data, and
• a step of causing the display interface to display an image corresponding to a second imaging data wirelessly received by the first communication interface.

A non-transitory computer-readable device storing a program that causes a computer to perform steps of:

• causing a display interface to display an image corresponding to a first imaging data generated by an imaging element of which a visual field range is adjusted so as to overlap at least a portion of a visual field range of a camera before a communication interface starts wireless reception of a second imaging data which is wirelessly transmitted from the camera;
• generating imaging parameters when an instruction for the imaging parameters is input by an operation interface being operated in a state where the image corresponding to the first imaging data is displayed on the display interface;
• causing the communication interface to wirelessly transmit the generated imaging parameters to the camera;
• causing the communication interface to wirelessly receive the second imaging data;
• and
• causing the display interface to display an image corresponding to the second imaging data wirelessly received by the communication interface.
