Abstract:
An apparatus includes an imaging unit that captures an image, a zoom drive unit that controls an angle of view of the imaging unit, a pan drive unit that rotates the imaging unit in a pan direction, a tilt drive unit that rotates the imaging unit in a tilt direction, and a control unit that controls the pan drive unit and the tilt drive unit. The control unit controls accelerations or decelerations of the pan drive unit and the tilt drive unit based on the angle of view controlled by the zoom drive unit so that an acceleration time or a deceleration time of movement of a video shot by the imaging unit is made constant.
