1. An imaging control device comprising:
a rotation axis setting unit configured to set a rotation axis on a basis of a pivot point and a point of interest on a subject, the pivot point serving as a fulcrum of a rod-shaped optical member whose observation optical axis is inclined with respect to a central axis, wherein the pivot point is not positioned on the observation optical axis;
a pivot point setting unit configured to set a point on the optical member as the pivot point; and
a posture control unit configured to
rotate the optical member around the rotation axis, and
rotate the optical member around the pivot point,
wherein the point on the optical member is set as the pivot point according to performance of a rotation operation by a user, and
wherein the rotation axis setting unit, the pivot point setting unit, and the posture control unit are each implemented via at least one processor.
