Abstract:
1. An endoscope system that controls a turret provided with an optical filter for transmitting an illuminating light, and picks up an image of an object by the transmitted illuminating light, comprising: light guide means for guiding the illuminating light; an image pickup device that picks up an image of an object illuminated with the illuminating light guided by the light guide means; photometry means that generates a photometric signal from an image pickup signal from the image pickup device and outputs the photometric signal; a turret provided with an optical filter for transmitting the illuminating light; a detector that detects a position of the turret; drive means that drives the turret; storage means that stores information for driving the turret; instruction means that performs instruction for causing the storage means to store information for driving the turret; and turret control means that outputs a drive signal for causing the turret to make one rotation to the drive means, and stores a detection value from the detector at which a photometric value from the photometry means becomes a maximum value while the turret makes the one rotation, into the storage means, by the instruction of the instruction means.
