An imaging apparatus provided in a moving object to capture an image of an area behind the moving object includes an imaging circuit and an optical system. The imaging circuit outputs an image based on an optical image input to a light-receiving surface. The optical system inputs the optical image to the imaging circuit. The optical system forms a first region at a first magnification and a second region at a second magnification lower than the first magnification. The second region is formed around the first region. The imaging apparatus is installed in the moving object so that, on the light-receiving surface of the imaging circuit, an axis passing through a center of the first region and extending in a direction from which the optical system receives light is inclined toward an upper side of the moving object with respect to a backward direction of the moving object.
