This shooting system includes a plurality of cameras capable of capturing a subject that moves on a course from different directions, and a controller that receives a setting made by the user regarding a switch order of the plurality of cameras that temporally share continuous shooting of the subject that moves on the course, and switches output videos of the plurality of cameras in accordance with the set switch order.

Systems and methods described in this application are directed to creating interactive stories using static 360-degree environments with dynamic sprites displayed thereon. These techniques facilitate creation of gamified storytelling and improve on prior efforts to create an immersive experience. Some embodiments described in this application are directed to creating video clips with assistance to improve continuity between clips while other embodiments are directed to transitioning between those clips in the course of presenting an interactive story to a user.

A digital camera that includes an imaging sensor having a stop 2 arranged in front of an imaging surface includes an imaging control unit that starts exposure of pixels on the entire imaging surface at the same time and then, ends the exposure of the pixels at the same time in a state where light from a subject is incident on the imaging surface, by controlling an imaging sensor drive circuit which drives the imaging sensor, and a processor that sequentially changes an F number of the stop 2 to a plurality of values during a period from the start of the exposure until the end of the exposure. The processor controls a time in which the F number is maintained at each of the plurality of values to be a time that is based on a function indicating light transmittance characteristics of an APD filter.

The luminance atmosphere that the creator intends is excellently reproduced on the receiving end. The transmission video data is obtained by applying a predetermined opto-electrical transfer function to the input video data. The transmission video data is transmitted together with the luminance conversion acceptable range information about a set region in the screen. For example, a transmitting unit transmits a video stream obtained by encoding the transmission video data while inserting the luminance conversion acceptable range information into a layer of the video stream. The receiving end obtains display video data by applying an electro-optical transfer function corresponding to the predetermined opto-electrical transfer function to the transmission video data, and performing a luminance conversion process in each of the set regions independently in accordance with the luminance conversion acceptable range information.
