CAMERA, HEAD-UP DISPLAY SYSTEM, AND MOVABLE OBJECT

A camera includes an image sensor, a signal processor, and an output unit. The image sensor obtains a first image being a subject image including an eye of a user of a head-up display. The signal processor generates a second image by reducing a resolution of an area of the first image other than an eyebox area. The eyebox area is an area within which a virtual image displayable by the head-up display is viewable by the eye of the user. The output unit outputs the second image to the head-up display.
