Abstract
An intraoral camera system includes an imaging unit and an image processor. If a first angle formed by an imaging plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the imaging unit and a first direction that is the vertically upward direction along a vertical axis is less than a predetermined second angle, the image processor rotates image data to cause the vertically upward direction along the vertical axis to coincide with an upward direction of an image by rotating the image data by a third angle formed by the first direction and a second direction from a handle toward a head.
