To provide a camera apparatus which makes it possible to perform additional camera control during automatic tracking operation within a range in which the automatic tracking operation can be performed without any trouble.

A tracking method-calculating section 104 detects a tracking target in an image and calculates camera control parameters 1 for performing camera control based thereon. Furthermore, a camera control request input section 105 obtains camera control parameters 2 for performing camera control based on a camera control request from a user. A camera control method-calculating section 110 calculates camera control parameters 3 from the camera control parameters 1 and the camera control parameters 2. Moreover, a camera control section 106 generates a control signal for controlling driving units of a panning driving unit 107, a tilting driving unit 108 and a zooming driving unit 109 from the camera control parameters 3 generated by the camera control method-calculating section 110.
