1. A multi-lens imaging apparatus comprising:

  • a plurality of imaging optical systems;

    image sensing means for sensing images of an object via said plurality of imaging optical systems;

    detection means for detecting mis-registration amounts of said images, said detection means comprising;

    convergence angle detection means for detecting an angle defined between optical axes of said plurality of imaging optical systems;

    zoom encoders for detecting focal lengths of said imaging optical systems; and

    focus encoders for detecting object distances to said imaging optical systems;

    correction means for correcting said mis-registration amounts of said images to be less than a predetermined value according to a detection signal from said detection means; and

    synthesizing means for synthesizing said images as said mis-registration amounts are corrected.
