Abstract: Imaging-related information such as information regarding the position or orientation of a camera is output in an appropriate manner. A control device according to the present technology includes: a determination unit that determines a usage mode of an imaging device; and a control unit that performs output control of imaging-related information related to the imaging device on the basis of the usage mode determined by the determination unit. Performing the output control of the imaging-related information on the basis of the usage mode of the imaging device makes it possible to perform control so as not to output unnecessary information according to the usage mode of the camera. For example, in a case of a fixed camera that does not move, the imaging-related information as position information of the camera is not output, and in a case of a handy camera that is assumed to move, the imaging-related information as the position information of the camera is output.
