Pan / tilt operating device, camera system, pan / tilt operating program, and pan / tilt operating method

摘要

The present invention provides a pan / tilt operation device, a camera system, a pan / tilt operation program, and a pan / tilt operation method that can remotely control the camera without discomfort regardless of the installation posture of the camera. In one aspect of the present invention, the pan motor and tilt motor assignment and rotation direction of each key of the cross key are set based on the installation posture of the camera. Thus, when the camera is panned or tilted using the cross key, the cross key can be operated without a sense of incongruity. Further, when the camera is panned using the cross key, when the specific condition for rotating the image is determined from the tilt angle, the corresponding icon of the cross key is displayed from the first icon indicating the vertical or horizontal direction. Switch to the second icon indicating the direction of rotation. This prevents a feeling of strangeness even if the image is rotated.
