    Abstract: An image capture device according to the present invention includes an imaging lens 3, a light-transmitting section 2 with two polarizers, a rotation driving section 2A that rotates the light transmitting section 2, and a solid-state image sensor 1 that has multiple pixels and their associated polarization filters. A first polarization filter 50a is arranged to face a first group of pixels W1 and a second polarization filter 50b is arranged to face a second group of pixels W2. The respective transmission axes of the polarizing areas P(1) and P(2) of the light-transmitting section 2 form an angle ? between themselves. Also, the respective transmission axes of the polarization filters 50a and 50b form an angle ? between themselves. And the rotation driving section 2A can rotate the light-transmitting plate 2 on the optical axis. As a result, multiple sets of multi-viewpoint images can be obtained.
