Abstract
The image sensor includes a body module, and a lens module and an imaging module installed in the body module. The body module includes: a correction part performing shading correction on image data outputted by the imaging module installed in the body module according to the set shading correction information; an acquisition part acquiring information related to a size of an imaging element in the imaging module installed in the body module and acquiring light amount ratio information representing a ratio of a light amount at least two positions on an imaging surface of the imaging element from the lens module installed in the body module; and a generation and setting part generating shading correction information based on the information acquired by the acquisition part and setting the shading correction information to the correction part.
