1. An imaging control method performed by at least one processor of an imaging control apparatus, the imaging control method comprising:
specifying a first focal position of an optical system with respect to a photographic subject which is irradiated with first irradiation light;
acquiring a first captured image of the photographic subject irradiated with the first irradiation light, which is captured by an image sensor with optical system set at the specified first focal position;
specifying a second focal position of the optical system with respect to the photographic subject which is irradiated with second irradiation light having characteristics different from characteristics of the first irradiation light;
judging whether or not a first condition based on the first focal position and the second focal position is satisfied;
setting an imaging focal position based on the second focal position in a case in which the first condition is satisfied, and sets an imaging focal position based on the first focal position in a case in which the first condition is not satisfied; and
acquiring an image of the photographic subject irradiated with the second irradiation light, which is captured by an image sensor with the optical system set at the imaging focal position.
