The electronic still camera on the slave side receives the operation data from the master side, and performs a photographing operation corresponding to the operation data. The electronic still camera on the slave side transmits a picked-up image signal to the electronic still camera on the master side to display the image signal on the electronic viewfinder of the electronic still camera on the master side.
