Abstract:
The image-capturing apparatus includes an image-capturing device configured to perform image capturing through multiple magnification-variable optical systems, which face in mutually different directions, to acquire multiple images to be continuously joined together, a controller configured to control magnification-varying operations of the respective magnification-variable optical systems to set field angles thereof, a main body holding the multiple magnification-variable optical systems, and a protrusion detector configured to detect a protruding member. The controller is configured to perform, depending on a detection result of the protrusion detector, a field angle setting process for setting the field angles of the respective magnification-variable optical systems such that the detected protruding member is not included in all the field angles of the magnification-variable optical systems.
