An imaging apparatus includes an arm unit that is configured to be inclinable to a table. The imaging apparatus varies the extent of inclination to change an imaging attitude of the video camera between a faraway imaging attitude that is most distant from the table surface and a nearby imaging attitude that is most close to the table surface. When the imaging attitude of the video camera is changed as above, an illumination link mechanism in the imaging apparatus causes a swing motion of a first group of illumination LED and changes a spot to be illuminated by the first group of illumination LED in compliance with the change of the imaging location of the video camera, which changes the imaging attitude.
