Abstract
An image capturing system includes a portable image capturing device and a lighting apparatus. The portable image capturing device includes, an image capturing unit, a display unit that displays a photographed image and a control unit. The lighting apparatus includes, a base unit including an image-capturing-device mounting face on which the portable image capturing device is mounted to photograph the medium installation face, a mirror to reflect the image displayed on the display unit, and a mirror detector that detects that the mirror is arranged. The control unit corrects a distortion in the image displayed on the display unit when the mirror is not detected by the mirror detector, and corrects the distortion and performs vertical inversion of the image on the display unit when the mirror is detected by the mirror detector. Corrected image is displayed on the display unit.
