1. An imaging device operation device which manually pans and tilts an imaging device comprising an imaging unit including an imaging lens and an imaging element and a pan/tilt mechanism that rotates the imaging unit in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction with respect to a device body, comprising:

  • a display unit;

    a touch panel which detects coordinates of a touch position on the display unit and in which a touch centering detection region is set in a central portion of a region corresponding to the display unit on which a live view image captured by the imaging unit is displayed, predetermined pan angle rotation instruction regions are set on the left and right sides of the touch centering detection region, and predetermined tilt angle rotation instruction regions are set on the upper and lower sides of the touch centering detection region;

    a display control unit that outputs the live view image to the display unit;

    a touch centering instruction unit that outputs an instruction to pan and tilt the pan/tilt mechanism such that a point corresponding to the detected coordinates on the live view image is located at the center of the live view image when the coordinates of the touch position in the touch centering detection region are detected;

    a predetermined pan angle rotation instruction unit that outputs an instruction to pan the pan/tilt mechanism at a predetermined pan angle when the coordinates of the touch position in the predetermined pan angle rotation instruction regions are detected; and

    a predetermined tilt angle rotation instruction unit that outputs an instruction to tilt the pan/tilt mechanism at a predetermined tilt angle when the coordinates of the touch position in the predetermined tilt angle rotation instruction regions are detected.
