摘要

A video camera system which can automatically avoid a mismatch that occurs between camera setting values on the PC side and camera setting values on the video camera side immediately after the connection therebetween. A video camera includes a controlled unit capable of being externally controlled in accordance with information inputted from a second data communication node. A control device includes a control unit for outputting the information to control the video camera from a first data communication node, a storage unit for storing at least one preset imaging device control condition, a control condition changing unit for changing the imaging device control condition stored in the storage unit, a detecting unit for detecting whether the control device and the video camera are connected, and an output unit started up in response to a detection signal from the detecting means for reading the imaging device control condition stored in the storage unit and outputting the read control conditions from the first data communication node.
