A vehicular camera includes a circuit board accommodated in a housing and a metal shield. The circuit board includes a first component disposed on a second surface and having a first height and a second component disposed on the second surface and having a second height smaller than the first height. The first component is disposed in a position opposite to a second bottom surface portion of a recessed portion of a first bottom surface portion of the shield, and the second component is disposed in a position opposite to a portion other than the recessed portion of the first bottom surface portion of the shield.

Vehicular camera

A vehicular camera includes: an imaging sensor including a first pixel region having X1 pixels arranged in a first direction and Y1 pixels arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction; an optical system including at least one lens and having an optical axis intersecting the first pixel region; and a memory configured to store a position of a second pixel region inside the first pixel region and having X2 pixels arranged in the first direction and Y2 pixels arranged in the second direction, the X2 being smaller than the X1, the Y2 being smaller than the Y1. The vehicular camera is configured to: read the position of the second pixel region from the memory in response to start-up of the imaging sensor; and output an output image corresponding to the second pixel region while outputting the position of the second pixel region.
