Imaging apparatus
First Claim
1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
- a first imaging module;
a second imaging module; and
a control module to control at least selected one of the first imaging module and the second imaging module and set the first imaging module and the second imaging module at a same timing of selected one of a center of gravity and a center of an exposure period.

Abstract
A stereoscopic imaging system includes a stereoscopic imaging apparatus having a plurality of imaging modules to pick up an image and an imaging sync control module to arithmetically process the video signals output from the plurality of the imaging modules for the stereoscopic imaging operation. In the case where the imaging modules control the exposure using an electronic shutter function and come to have different timing of the center of gravity of the exposure period, an imaging sync control module sets the plurality of the imaging modules at the same timing of the center of gravity of the exposure period by displacing the phase of the timing of the center of gravity of the exposure period of the imaging modules thereby to prevent the image processing capability of the stereoscopic imaging operation from being reduced.
