1. An image-capturing apparatus comprising:
an imaging sensor;
a controller configured to control operation timings of the image-capturing apparatus; and
a communication interface configured to output an image captured by the image-capturing apparatus and control information of the image-capturing apparatus to the outside at timings controlled by the controller,
wherein the controller can control the operation timings of the image-capturing apparatus in accordance with a synchronization signal input to the image-capturing apparatus, and
the controller synchronizes the synchronization signal and the operation timings of the image-capturing apparatus before the control information is output to the outside, when an instruction to output the control information to the outside is input while the synchronization signal and the operation timings are not synchronized.
