Abstract
An image sensing apparatus capable of separately performing image processing on odd-numbered fields and even-numbered fields for each of the image data from the left lens and right lens when a 3-D (stereoscopic) compatible lens is mounted, and when a normal lens is mounted, recording image data while correlating fields and reducing redundant data. When 3-D compatible lensis mounted to image sensing apparatus main bodythe mounting of the lens is informed to the image sensing apparatus main bodyIn response, the image sensing apparatus main bodyperforms image processing separately on the left and right images for each field. For instance, the image compression mode is switched from an every-field structure to an alternate-field structure.
