To provide a camera system which makes a display image legible when a control of PTZ or the like is performed while an image of a Tele camera is seen by a display device, and which makes a display image legible in a recorded image in a camera system with a Tele/Wide camera.

A camera system has a Tele camera means which enables a high-powered zoom by which a narrow range is photographed with a subject centered, a Wide camera means which enables a wide-angle shot by which a wide range is photographed including an adjacent area of a subject. The camera system is provided with a means for performing a PTZ (pan, tilt and zoom) control to a Tele camera, a means for communicating between the Tele camera and a Wide camera, a means for cutting an image complying with the PTZ control of the Tele camera from a Wide image, a means for magnifying the image cut from the Wide image to a Tele image, and a means for switching the Tele image with the Wide image to be transmitted. An image while the Tele camera is moving is substituted for an image by the Wide camera.
