Abstract
A remote control devicemeasures a distance to a noticed imaging target OB directly in front of the remote control deviceby a distance measurement unit. Further, the remote control devicemeasures a movement from an initial state by a motion sensor unit and transmits imaging target position information indicative of the measured distance and movement from a communication unit to an imaging device. An imaging target position calculation unit provided on the imaging devicecalculates, on the basis of the imaging target position information from the remote control device, a direction of the noticed imaging target OB with respect to the direction in the initial state of the imaging device. By generating a direction controlling signal on the basis of a calculation result of the imaging target position calculation unit and outputting the direction controlling signal to a pan head, the imaging direction of the imaging devicecan be set to the direction of the noticed imaging target OB.
