Abstract: A photographing device attachable to a moving body includes: a first control section configured to predict and obtain a change in physical quantity based on an alteration in a photographing state; and a communication control section configured to transmit information related to the change in the physical quantity. The photographing device improves stability in the moving body and stability of photographing. Information related to influence on the moving body based on a change in an outer shape and a change in a position of the center of gravity of the photographing device mounted on the moving body is shared by the moving body to improve the stability in the moving body and the stability of photographing.

Abstract: A situation comprehending apparatus included in an imaging apparatus includes an image acquiring section, a structure specifying section, a distance acquiring section, a main subject specifying section, and a main subject distance distribution determining section. The image acquiring section acquires an image of a target scene. The structure specifying section specifies a structure having linear image information in a far or near direction of the target scene or in a direction perpendicular to the far or near direction. The distance acquiring section acquires a distance to a structure straight line included in the structure. The main subject specifying section specifies a main subject different from the structure included in the image. The main subject distance distribution determining section determines distance distribution to the main subject with use of an image of the structure and an image of the main subject.
