This 3D image capture device includes a light-transmitting section 2 with m transmitting areas (where m is an integer and m 2) and a solid-state image sensor 1. The sensor 1 has unit elements, each of which includes n photosensitive cells (where n is an integer and n m) and n transmitting filters that face those photosensitive cells. If the wavelength is identified by λ, the transmittances of transmitting areas C1 and C2 are identified by Tc1(λ) and Tc2(λ), the transmittances of two transmitting filters are identified by Td1(λ) and Td2(λ), and the interval of integration is the entire visible radiation wavelength range, ∫Tc1(λ)Td1(λ)dλ>0, ∫Tc1(λ)Td2(λ)dλ>0, ∫Tc2(λ)Td1(λ)dλ>0, ∫Tc2(λ)Td2(λ)dλ>0, and ∫Tc1(λ)Td1(λ)dλ∫Tc2(λ)Td2(λ)dλ≠∫Tc2(λ)Td1(λ)dλ∫Tc1(λ)Td2(λ)dλ are satisfied.
