PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an organism imaging device attached to an organism which reduces power consumption.SOLUTION: An organism imaging device 1 which is an organism imaging device attached to an organism includes: a main body 2 having a first face 2a on a side not facing the organism when the organism imaging device is attached onto the organism a camera 13 provided on the first face for imaging a part of the organism a first electrode 18 arranged at a location on the first face away from the camera by a distance L a second electrode 19 which, when at least the first electrode is pressed by a finger in a state in which the organism imaging device is attached on the organism, contacts a part of the organism other than the finger contacting the first electrode for conducting electricity with the first electrode via the organism and a processor 10 which actuates the camera when detecting an electricity conduction between the first electrode and the second electrode.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】消費電力の低減を図る、生体に取付けられる生体撮影装置を提供する。【解決手段】生体撮影装置1は、生体に取付けられる生体撮影装置であって、生体撮影装置が生体に取付けられたときに生体と対向しない側の第1の面2aを有する本体2と、第1の面に設けられ、生体の一部を撮影するカメラ13と、第1の面にカメラから所定の距離L離れて配置された第1の電極18と、生体撮影装置が生体に取付けられた状態において、少なくとも前記第1の電極が指で押されたときに、第1の電極と接した指とは生体の別の部位と接し、生体を通じて第1の電極と通電する、第2の電極19と、第1の電極と第2の電極との通電を検出したとき、カメラを作動させるプロセッサ10と、を備える。【選択図】図2
