IMAGE CAPTURING SYSTEM FOR ELECTRONIC ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM

摘要

An image capturing system is provided with an illuminating unit configured to emit intermittent light that periodically illuminates an object, an image capturing element configured to capture an image of the object illuminated by the illuminating unit, and a control unit that controls the image capturing element to execute an image capturing operation. A period during which the object is periodically illuminated by the intermittent light includes an unstable starting period, a stable period and an unstable ending period, a timing at which the illuminating unit starts illuminating the object varying in the unstable starting period, a timing at which the illuminating unit stops illuminating the object varying in the unstable ending period. Further, the control unit controls the image capturing element to start and finish the image capturing operation within the stable period.
