PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging apparatus in which data transferring is performed from the subsequence of the transferred data even when a communication state is switched, and to provide an imaging method and an endoscope.SOLUTION: In the head separated type imaging apparatus in which a head part and a body part for processing an image signal transmitted from the head part are separated, a head part includes a rechargeable battery, the body part includes a terminal for charging the battery of the head part. When it is detected that the head part is connected to the terminal, data transmission/reception is performed by the head part and wire communication.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】通信状態が切り替わった場合でも、転送したデータの続きからデータ転送が行われる撮像装置、撮像方法及び内視鏡装置を提供すること。【解決手段】ヘッド部と、ヘッド部から送信される画像信号を処理する本体部とが分離したヘッド分離型の撮像装置であって、ヘッド部は、充電池を具備し、本体部は、ヘッド部の充電池を充電するための端子を具備し、ヘッド部が端子へ接続されたことを検出すると、ヘッド部と有線通信によりデータの送受信を行う。【選択図】図2
