1. A medical observation system, comprising:
image processing circuitry configured to:
perform correction processing on a wide-angle image which is a captured image of a medical observation target;
move a clipping area for a display image clipped from the wide-angle image;
control the correction processing based on a relative state of the clipping area to the wide-angle image; and
control display of the display image according to the relative state of the clipping area to an allowable range for the wide-angle image, wherein the control of the display of the display image is based on a driving range of an arm portion for supporting a camera that captures the wide-angle image.
