A compound-eye capturing apparatus provided with a plurality of imaging devices captures a plurality of items of image data with the same image quality. First pixels for generating first pixel signals are arranged in a first pixel array part. Second pixels for generating second pixel signals are arranged in a second pixel array part. A first setting part sets an exposure time and a first gain for the first pixel signals on the basis of an appropriate exposure value. A second setting part adjusts the first gain on the basis of a difference in sensitivity between a first monocular camera module provided with the first pixel array part and a second monocular camera module provided with the second pixel array part, and sets the adjusted first gain as a second gain for the second pixel signals. A control part causes the first and second pixel array parts to be exposed over the exposure time. An amplification part amplifies the output first and second pixel signals by the first and second gains.

A camera module having a high resolution, high optical performance, and a reduced size, an optical apparatus including the camera module, and a method for manufacturing a camera module 1 are provided. The camera module 1 mounted on an optical apparatus such as a camera 60 includes an unit optical system UL including a primary reflection mirror 12 as a first reflection member and a secondary reflection mirror 13 as a second reflection member sequentially from an object side along an optical axis and configured to form an image of an object, an image sensor 14 configured to capture the image formed by the unit optical system UL, and a plurality of unit blocks 10 each including the unit optical system UL and the image sensor 14.

High image quality real-time distribution of omnidirectional images is enabled. An imaging unit obtains a front image and a back image each having an ultra-wide viewing angle of greater than or equal to 180°. A transmission unit transmits the front image and the back image each having the ultra-wide viewing angle to an external device. For example, the imaging unit includes: a first imager that captures a front-side image taken in by a fisheye lens to obtain a front image having an ultra-wide viewing angle; and a second imager that captures a back-side image taken in by a fisheye lens to obtain a back image having an ultra-wide viewing angle, in which the second imager is arranged in a state of being rotated by 90° with respect to the first imager, the first imager captures the front-side image taken in by the fisheye lens in a state where the upper end side and the lower end side of the front-side image are partially missing, and the second imager captures the back-side image taken in by the fisheye lens in a state where the left end side and the right end side of the back-side image are partially missing.
