7. A control method for an operation device, the operation device having a movable portion movable between a first position and a second position via direct contact pressure by a user while the operation device is gripped by the user, the control method comprising:
receiving information identifying a control mode, among a plurality of control modes, and control information determined for such control mode as an instruction related to control of a tactile force sense, and
controlling the tactile force sense presented to the movable portion by using the received control information in the control mode identified by the received information, wherein:
the receiving includes receiving setting information taken from one or more pre-stored profiles,
the control mode establishes which of the one or more pre-stored profiles is selected for use by the controller, and
the controlling includes controlling the tactile force sense presented to the movable portion in response to the selected one of the pre-stored profiles,
the movable portion includes an actuator, where the actuator is not movable via the direct contact pressure by the user,
when the receiving includes receiving, as the instruction related to the control of the tactile force sense, information including information identifying a first control mode, a target position as control information determined in advance for the first control mode, and a control gain of the actuator, and
the controlling includes controlling the tactile force sense presented to the movable portion by performing control of the actuator on a basis of a difference between a position of the actuator and the target position and the information of the control gain.
