ABSTRACT:
Operation button sets that are actuated with the same operation switches are included in an endoscope in which an imaging device is incorporated and in an image processing apparatus for processing an image taken by the imaging device. The operation buttons are connected to a CPU in the image processing apparatus. Using whichever one of the operation button sets a user chooses to operate the endoscope system, the user can execute functions such as displaying a still image or enlarging and displaying an image by following the same handling procedure for each operation button set. Thus, the user is relieved from learning a plurality of handling procedures.
