1. A surgical imaging system comprising:
a medical imaging device configured to capture an image of a surgical site;
an arm configured to support the medical imaging device;
a memory configured to store a plurality of position and attitude conditions each corresponding to a fixed position and attitude of the medical imaging device;
display circuitry configured to cause a plurality of images to be displayed simultaneously, each of the plurality of images corresponding to a different position and attitude condition in the plurality of position and attitude conditions;
input circuitry configured to receive a first user input operation to select, from the displayed plurality of images, a first displayed image corresponding to a first position and attitude condition corresponding to a first fixed position and attitude of the medical imaging device to capture a first image of the surgical site; and
processing circuitry configured to
adjust, by driving the arm, a position and attitude of the medical imaging device to be a second fixed position and attitude differing from the first fixed position and attitude for capturing a second image of the surgical site, and
control, in response to a second user input operation, a position and an attitude of the medical imaging device to be changed from the second fixed position and attitude to the first fixed position and attitude by driving the arm based on the stored first position and attitude condition so that a third image of the surgical site, captured by the medical imaging device, corresponds to the first image.
