The present technology relates to an endoscope system, an endoscope control method, and a program that allow AF processing to be performed without deterioration in accuracy. Provided are a drive unit that drives a lens, a measurement unit that measures a position of the lens, and a control unit that controls focusing, the control of the focusing including setting a control amount of wobbling at the time of the focusing based on a first hysteresis that is stored and a second hysteresis that is measured upon energization. The present technology is applicable to a medical observation device such as an endoscope or a microscope.

Endoscope system, endoscope control method, and program with hysteresis compensation for autofovus control

A light emitting device irradiates a surgical area with first wavelength light and second wavelength light. A wobbling operation of a focus lens included in an imaging device is controlled according to an emission timing of the first wavelength light and the second wavelength light when the surgical area is alternately irradiated with the first wavelength light and the second wavelength light. The present disclosure can be applied to an endoscopic surgical system, for example.

Medical observation system, apparatus, control method, and imaging apparatus using different wobbling operation for different observation modes

An endoscope system includes circuitry configured to monitor a characteristic of an endoscope including an imaging device and a scope coupled to the imaging device, wherein the characteristic is indicative of whether the scope is inserted in a living body or not, in the event that the characteristic satisfies a predetermined condition, control a focus of the endoscope system in a first manner and, in the event that the characteristic does not satisfy the predetermined condition, control the focus of the endoscope system in a second manner, different from the first manner.
