ABSTRACT:
A camera control apparatus and method, in that angles required for cameras to train on a position designated by an operator, are calculated from the designated position and directions in which the cameras are currently oriented. On the basis of the thus-calculated angles, a camera requiring the minimum angle from among the plurality of cameras is determined as the camera capable of being trained on the designated position most quickly.
