Abstract:
At least one image pickup apparatus includes an image pickup unit which photoelectrically converts object images formed by plural image pickup optical systems of different focal lengths. If an image plane most separated from an object side among the image planes of the plural image pickup optical systems is defined as a reference image plane, a longest distance among distances from a reference image plane to each of entrance pupil planes of the plurality of image pickup optical systems is defined as EPmax, a shortest distance among distances from the reference image plane to each of the entrance pupil planes of the plural image pickup optical systems is defined as EPmin, and a 35 mm equivalent focal length of an image pickup optical system having the longest focal length among a plurality of image pickup optical systems is defined as ftele35, then EPmax, EPmin, and ftele35 satisfy a predetermined condition.
