前記課題を解決するために本発明は、共通の被写体を対象として複数のカメラで所定の撮影処理を実行するカメラシステムであって、前記所定の撮影処理に参加可能な複数のカメラの中から、前記所定の撮影処理で必要とする所定情報を取得可能なカメラを自動的に選択し、この選択されたカメラをマスターカメラ、他のカメラをスレーブカメラに区分し、前記マスターカメラは、前記所定情報を取得し、この取得した前記所定情報を前記スレーブカメラに送信し、前記スレーブカメラは、前記マスターカメラより送信される前記所定情報を受信し、この受信した前記所定情報に基づいて前記所定の撮影処理を実行することを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above problem, the present invention is a camera system that executes a predetermined shooting process with a plurality of cameras for a common subject, and from among a plurality of cameras that can participate in the predetermined shooting process, It said predetermined automatically select the camera capable of acquiring predetermined information required by photographing process divides the selected camera master camera, the other camera to the slave camera, the master camera, the predetermined information And the acquired predetermined information is transmitted to the slave camera, the slave camera receives the predetermined information transmitted from the master camera, and the predetermined photographing based on the received predetermined information A process is executed .

また、本発明は、共通の被写体を対象として複数のカメラで所定の撮影処理を実行するカメラシステムに用いられるカメラであって、前記所定の撮影処理に参加可能か否かを判断し、参加可能と判断された場合に、前記所定の撮影処理で必要とする所定情報を取得可能か否かを判断し、取得可能であると判断された場合には、自己をマスターカメラとして機能させ、それ以外の場合には、自己をスレーブカメラとして機能させ、前記マスターカメラとして機能する場合には、前記所定情報を取得し、この取得した前記所定情報を前記スレーブカメラに送信し、前記スレーブカメラとして機能する場合には、前記マスターカメラより送信される前記所定情報を受信し、この受信した前記所定情報に基づいて前記所定の撮影処理を実行することを特徴とする。 Further, the present invention is a camera used in a camera system that executes a predetermined shooting process with a plurality of cameras for a common subject, and determines whether or not it can participate in the predetermined shooting process. If it is determined, it is determined whether or not the predetermined information necessary for the predetermined photographing process can be acquired. If it is determined that the predetermined information can be acquired, the self functions as a master camera. In this case, the self functions as a slave camera, and when it functions as the master camera, it acquires the predetermined information, transmits the acquired predetermined information to the slave camera, and functions as the slave camera. In this case, the predetermined information transmitted from the master camera is received, and the predetermined photographing process is executed based on the received predetermined information. And butterflies.

また、本発明は、共通の被写体を対象として複数のカメラで所定の撮影処理を実行するカメラシステムに用いられるカメラが有するコンピュータに、前記所定の撮影処理に参加可能か否かを判断させ、参加可能と判断された場合に、前記所定の撮影処理で必要とする所定情報を取得可能か否かを判断させ、取得可能であると判断された場合には、自己をマスターカメラとして機能させ、それ以外の場合には、自己をスレーブカメラとして機能させ、前記マスターカメラとして機能する場合には、前記所定情報を取得させ、この取得した前記所定情報を前記スレーブカメラに送信させ、前記スレーブカメラとして機能する場合には、前記マスターカメラより送信される前記所定情報を受信させ、この受信した前記所定情報に基づいて前記所定の撮影処理を実行させることを特徴とする。 Further, the present invention allows a computer included in a camera system used for a camera system that executes a predetermined shooting process with a plurality of cameras for a common subject to determine whether or not the predetermined shooting process can be performed. When it is determined that it is possible, it is determined whether or not the predetermined information required for the predetermined photographing process can be acquired. If it is determined that the information can be acquired, the self functions as a master camera. In other cases, the self functions as a slave camera, and when functioning as the master camera, the predetermined information is acquired, the acquired predetermined information is transmitted to the slave camera, and the slave camera functions. The predetermined information transmitted from the master camera is received, and the predetermined information is received based on the received predetermined information. Characterized in that to execute the shadow process.

また、本発明は、共通の被写体を対象として複数のカメラで所定の撮影処理を実行するカメラシステムによる撮影方法であって、前記所定の撮影処理に参加可能な複数のカメラの中から、前記所定の撮影処理で必要とする所定情報を取得可能なカメラを自動的に選択し、この選択されたカメラをマスターカメラ、他のカメラをスレーブカメラに区分し、前記マスターカメラは、前記所定情報を取得し、この取得した前記所定情報を前記スレーブカメラに送信し、前記スレーブカメラは、前記マスターカメラより送信される前記所定情報を受信し、この受信した前記所定情報に基づいて前記所定の撮影処理を実行することを特徴とする。 Further, the present invention is a shooting method by a camera system that executes a predetermined shooting process with a plurality of cameras for a common subject, and the predetermined method is selected from a plurality of cameras that can participate in the predetermined shooting process. The camera that can acquire the predetermined information required for the shooting process is automatically selected, the selected camera is classified as a master camera, and the other cameras are classified as slave cameras. The master camera acquires the predetermined information. Then, the acquired predetermined information is transmitted to the slave camera, and the slave camera receives the predetermined information transmitted from the master camera, and performs the predetermined photographing process based on the received predetermined information. It is characterized by performing .
