Photography system
Continuous photography can be realized even in the case where time necessary for image information reading becomes long at the time of photography of faint light by a photography system. A photography unit has two imaging devices for outputting image information by photography of a subject, and a photography control apparatus controls the imaging devices so that reading of the image information can be started from one of the imaging devices having finished photography of the subject while photography of the subject is started by the other imaging device at the same time.
1 . A photography system comprising: a casing in which a subject is contained; a photography apparatus comprising a photography unit for outputting image information by photographing the subject in the casing; and a photography control apparatus for controlling operation of the photography unit, wherein
the photography unit has a plurality of imaging devices for outputting the image information by respectively photographing the subject, and
the photography control apparatus controls the imaging devices so that reading of the image information is started from any one of the imaging devices having photographed the subject while another one of the imaging devices starts to photograph the subject.
2 . The photography system according to claim 1 , the photography control apparatus having a function of controlling the imaging devices so that each of the imaging devices can photograph the same subject with the same exposure time, and the photography control apparatus further comprising:
correction coefficient calculation means for calculating a correction coefficient for correcting the image information for each of the imaging devices by causing the image information from the respective imaging devices obtained by photographing the same subject with the same exposure time to become the same through comparison of the image information from the respective imaging devices; and
correction means for correcting the image information obtained by the respective imaging devices by using the correction coefficient calculated by the correction coefficient calculation means.
