Claim:
1. A camera system; comprising: a lighting device having a mover including a light source; an imaging apparatus; a position setter configured to set an irradiation position which is to be irradiated with light from the light source; an operator configured to accept an operation for starting photographing preparation operation; a distance detector configured to detect information relating to object distance; and a controller configured to perform driving control of the mover, wherein, when the operator accepts an operation for starting photographing preparation operation, the controller performs driving control of the mover for irradiating the set irradiation position with light from the light source and the position setter sets an irradiation position which is to be irradiated with light from the light source based on a detection result of the distance detector, wherein, when the operator does not accept an operation for starting photographing preparation operation, the controller controls to not perform driving control of the mover for irradiating the set irradiation position with light from the light source, and wherein the position setter, the operator, the distance detector, and the controller are implemented by at least one processor.
