Photographing apparatus, photographing controller, photographing control method, and photographing control program

A photographing controller configured to control a photographing operation, in which a set of images, configured of a plurality of captured images, for use in an image-synthesizing operation are photographed, wherein, during said photographing operation, said image sensor and said optical element are sequentially moved relative to each other from a reference position to a plurality of different relative positions in a direction that is different to a direction of the optical axis, said photographing controller comprising:

• a photographing controller configured to determine, every time said photographing controller obtains a photographed image at each relative position, whether or not said photographed image satisfies usage testing-requirements for a constituent image of said set of images.

A photographing control method comprising:

• controlling a photographing operation, in which a set of images, configured of a plurality of captured images, for use in an image-synthesizing operation are photographed, wherein, during said photographing operation, said image sensor and said optical element are sequentially moved relative to each other from a reference position to a plurality of different relative positions in a direction that is different to a direction of the optical axis;
• and
• determining, every time said photographing controller obtains a photographed image at each relative position, whether or not said photographed image satisfies usage testing-requirements for a constituent image of said set of images.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing a photographing control program, to be implemented by a photographing controller of a photographing apparatus during a photographing operation,

• in which a set of images, configured of a plurality of captured images, for use in an image-synthesizing operation are photographed, wherein, during said photographing operation, said image sensor and said optical element are sequentially moved relative to each other from a reference position to a plurality of different relative positions in a direction that is different to a direction of the optical axis,
• wherein said photographing control program implements a process that determines, every time said photographing controller obtains a photographed image at each relative position, whether or not said photographed image satisfies usage testing-requirements for a constituent image of said set of images.
