1. A remote control device, comprising:
a distance measurement unit configured to measure a distance to an imaging target; and
a sensor configured to measure a movement from an initial state, wherein
the initial state is a state in which the distance measurement unit is opposite to an imaging unit of a control target device, and
the distance to the imaging target measured by the distance measurement unit and a direction of the imaging unit are used as references; and
a central processing unit (CPU) configured to transmit imaging target position information indicative of the distance measured by the distance measurement unit and the movement measured by the sensor to the control target device.
