NOVELTY - A main body unit (B1), that freely rotates in a globular shell unit (S), has an image photographing system (430) disposed so that images are photographed in a direction opposite to a magnetic counterweight (453), a wireless transmitter (450), a battery (440), counterweight for determining the center of gravity of main body unit, and an encapsulant (456a) for fixing the image photographing system, wireless transmitter, battery, and counterweight. Shell unit is formed of one of transparent resin and transparent plastic material. Lubricant (L) is interposed between shell unit and main body unit.    USE - Long or short distance capsule-type image photographing apparatus for use in endoscopy method (claimed) for photographing inside of human body and examining organs such as stomach.    ADVANTAGE - Ensures desired regions of tested person's internal organs are effectively photographed at long or short distances by using the long and short distance capsule-type image photographing apparatuses. Ensures long and short distance regions of the tested person's internal organs are photographed at the same time when using both two capsule-type image photographing apparatuses. Ensures vertical moving speed of capsule-type image photographing apparatus is controlled and capsule-type image photographing apparatus is rapidly removed from the tested person by connecting the string to capsule-type image photographing apparatus, thus wide internal organ such as stomach is tested more easily and tested person feels little pain unlike when tube-type endoscope is used. Enables tested person to observe photographed images in real-time so that test is finished in short amount of time and ease economical burden for the tested person.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for an endoscopy method using a capsule-type image photographing apparatus.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a cross sectional view of a capsule-type image photographing apparatus.
