1. A camera control system in which camera control circuits having different control functions are mounted on respective ones of a plurality of camera control boards which are independent of one another, the camera control boards being connected together by a network line, wherein one camera control board among said plurality of camera control boards decides the order of priority of camera control boards that use the network line; wherein with regard to camera control boards for which the order of priority decided by said one camera control board is the same, preference is given to a predetermined order of priority, and wherein said plurality of camera control boards include a focusing lens control board that controls a focusing lens, a zoom lens control board that controls a zoom lens, and an iris control board that controls an iris, and the more the zoom lens is shifted toward telephoto and, moreover, the more the iris is opened, the higher the order of priority given to said focusing lens control board for using the network line, and the more the zoom lens is shifted toward wide angle and, moreover, the more the iris is closed, the lower the order of priority given to said focusing lens control board for using the network line.
