Each of the first image capturing unit and the second image capturing unit is provided with an image capturing element, and an optical system configured to form an optical image on a light receiving surface of the image capturing element at an ultrawide angle viewing angle in which a resolution of a second region that is on an outer peripheral side of a first region is higher in comparison to a resolution of the first region that includes a center through which an optical axis passes. In addition, the first image capturing unit and the second image capturing unit are disposed such that t directions of the optical axes of the optical systems are opposite to each other.
