Abstract: When a camera (10) turns in the reverse rotational direction toward a preset position, the camera (10) additionally turns in the reverse rotational direction by the number of offset pulses and then further turns in the forward rotational direction by the number of offset pulses. While the camera (10) turns in the forward rotational direction and the reverse rotational direction by the number of offset pulses, an image cutout unit (15) outputs image data corresponding to an area whose position in a photographing range of the camera (10) is moved in a direction of canceling the movement linked with the turning of the camera (10).
