Abstract
A control device includes circuitry configured to: acquire an operation command through voice input to an imaging device including: an image sensor; and an optical system including a focus lens; and proceed to a mode for performing control to return a position of the focus lens such that a focus position of the focus lens is returned, from a focus position at a time of stoppage of the focus lens, by an amount of return equal to or less than a reference focal depth in the optical system when the operation command is a command to stop operation of the focus lens.
