  • Publication number: 20230328392
    Abstract: In “normal” image capturing, a focal position of an imaging lens group with respect to a photographic subject irradiated with light by a light source is specified as an imaging focal position. In “green” image capturing, a focal position of the imaging lens group with respect to the subject irradiated with green light by a light source is identified. When the focal position for “green” image capturing is within a first range, this focal position is specified as an imaging focal position. When this focal position is not within the first range, an imaging focal position for “green” image capturing is specified based on the focal position for the “normal” image capturing, and the subject which is being irradiated with green light is photographed by an image sensor with the focus lens being set at the imaging focal position for “green” image capturing.
