To allow video signals with uniform characteristics to be generated by compound-eye imaging.

A system controller 2 of a compound-eye imaging system 1 performs control so that the amount of light reduced by a diaphragm and the amount of light reduced by a shutter of an imaging unit 3A whose ND filter reduces a greater amount of light match those of an imaging unit 3B according to a corrected program diagram. Also, the system controller 2 performs control so that the amount of light reduced by the ND filter 22A is gradually increased and an amplification gain is gradually increased. As a result, when increasing the amount of light reduction, the system controller 2 can uniform the total amounts of light reduction at the imaging units 3A and 3B while completely uniforming the shutter speeds and the aperture values thereof and completely uniforming the degrees of insertion of the ND filters 22A and 22B.
