To provide an imaging system capable of matching images picked up by the two imaging apparatuses with an image viewed by a user at the time of the shooting, a control method thereof, and a program.SOLUTION: An imaging system 1 is configured so as to, when a user's attention position T1 is calculated from the line-of-sight position of both eyes of a user detected by the position detection units 120a and 120b, control the imaging direction and focus position of the imaging apparatuses 100a and 100b to the attention position T1. In that state, when the line-of-sight position of the user's eyes changes, the user's attention position T2 is calculated from the line-of-sight position of the user's eyes after the change, the shooting target position T3 is set on the locus connecting the attention positions T1 and T2. After that, on the basis of the driving information of imaging apparatuses 100a and 100b, respectively, the shooting direction and the focus position of the imaging apparatuses 100a and 100b to each of these positions are controlled synchronously in the order of attention position T1, shooting target position T3, and attention position T2.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】２つの撮像装置で撮影された映像を撮影時にユーザが実際に見ていた映像と一致させることができる撮像システム及びその制御方法並びにプログラムを提供する。【解決手段】撮像システム１は、位置検出装置１２０ａ，１２０ｂで検出されたユーザの両目の視線位置からユーザの注目位置Ｔ１が算出されると、撮像装置１００ａ，１００ｂの撮影方向及びフォーカス位置を注目位置Ｔ１に制御する。その状態でユーザの両目の視線位置が変化した場合、その変化した後のユーザの両目の視線位置からユーザの注目位置Ｔ２を算出し、注目位置Ｔ１，Ｔ２を結んだ軌跡上に撮影目標位置Ｔ３を設定する。その後、撮像装置１００ａ，１００ｂの夫々の駆動情報を基づき、注目位置Ｔ１，撮影目標位置Ｔ３，注目位置Ｔ２の順にこれらの夫々の位置への撮像装置１００ａ，１００ｂの撮影方向及びフォーカス位置を同期制御する。【選択図】図１
