1. A component mounting method for use by a mounter having a mounting head that holds and moves a component so as to mount the component onto a board, said method comprising:
giving an instruction for a camera to start taking an image of the component held on the mounting head, based on a position of the mounting head;
starting camera exposure by the camera in response to the instruction;
obtaining a movement amount by which the mounting head moves during a time period from when the instruction is given to when the camera exposure is performed;
obtaining a position of the component based on the movement amount and the image taken by the camera;
correcting a mounting position at which the mounting head is to mount the component, based on the obtained position of the component; and
mounting the component, whose image has been taken by the camera, at the corrected mounting position.
