ABSTRACT:
An image capturing system includes an image-capturing unit and a main unit, capable of serial communication therebetween. The main unit generates a first clock signal, converts data to be transmitted to the image-capturing unit into serial data using the first clock signal, and transmits the serial data to the image-capturing unit. The image-capturing unit detects a serial transfer frequency from the received serial signal, reproduces the first clock signal, generates a second clock signal from the reproduced first clock signal, converts a taken image into serial data using the second clock signal, and transmits this data to the main unit. The main unit then reproduces the second clock signal from the serial data transmitted from the image-capturing unit, and utilizes the second clock signal to generate the first clock signal, thereby synchronizing the image-capturing unit and the main unit.
