IMAGE TAKING SYSTEM AND LENS APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An image taking system including a lens apparatus and a camera configured to take an image using the lens apparatus, the image taking system comprising:
- a distance calculator configured to calculate an object distance from the lens apparatus in each of a plurality of ranging areas provided in an image taking range;
a velocity calculator configured to calculate an object velocity based on the object distance calculated by the distance calculator in each of the plurality of ranging areas;
an information generator configured to generate object information indicating at least one of the object distance calculated by the distance calculator, a difference between the object distances, the object velocity calculated by the velocity calculator, and a difference between the object velocities;
an extractor configured to extract a ranging area where the object velocity calculated by the velocity calculator is in a first range out of the plurality of ranging areas; and
an output image generator configured to generate an output image including a shot image generated by the camera and the object information corresponding to the ranging area extracted by the extractor.
