Abstract
An imaging operation terminal may include: a storage section configured to store switching information of an operation mode which operates according to a state of physical contact with an imaging device; a communication section configured to perform wireless communication with the imaging device; a communication detection section configured to detect whether the wireless communication by the communication section with the imaging device is possible; a physical state detection section configured to detect the state of the physical contact with the imaging device; and an operation mode selection section configured to select one operation mode based on the switching information according to the state of the physical contact with the imaging device detected by the physical state detection section after the communication detection section has detected that the wireless communication with the imaging device is possible.
