To provide an optimal imaging system that has a lens surface projected from a housing body.SOLUTION: An imaging system 10 according to the present embodiment comprises: an imaging body 12 that combines a plurality of optical systems 20A and 20B for capturing an image in a different direction and a plurality of solid state image pick-up elements 24A and 24B corresponding to the plurality of optical systems 20A and 20B; electric power supply means 14 that supplies electric power to the plurality of solid state image pick-up elements 24A and 24B; and a housing 18 that has a holding part for holding the imaging body 12 and a main body part holding the electric power supply means 14. The imaging system is configured to project, in a different direction, optical elements LA1 and LB1 positioned on at least a most subject side respectively owned by the plurality of optical systems 20A and 20B further than a housing surface where the main body part of the housing 18 is positioned.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】 レンズ面が筐体から突出している好適な撮像システムを提供すること。【解決手段】 本実施形態の撮像システム１０は、異なる方向を撮像する複数の光学系２０Ａ，２０Ｂおよび複数の光学系２０Ａ，２０Ｂに対応する複数の固体撮像素子２４Ａ，２４Ｂを組み合わせた撮像体１２と、複数の固体撮像素子２４Ａ，２４Ｂへ電力を供給する電力供給手段１４と、撮像体１２を保持する保持部および電力供給手段１４を保持する本体部を有する筐体１８とを備える。撮像システムは、筐体１８の本体部の位置の筐体面よりも複数の光学系２０Ａ，２０Ｂそれぞれが有する少なくとも最も被写体側に位置する光学素子ＬＡ１，ＬＢ１のほうを異なる方向に突出させたものである。【選択図】 図１
