1. An image pickup control apparatus for controlling an image pickup apparatus via a data communications interface unit, the image pickup control apparatus comprising:
- a connection detecting unit which detects a connection to the image pickup apparatus via the data communications interface unit;
a setting unit which displays a plurality of photographing conditions with each of which a plurality of kinds of control data are associated, selects a desired photographing condition from among the plurality of displayed photographing conditions to display the plurality of kinds of control data associated with the selected photographing condition, and changes the plurality of kinds of control data in accordance with an input instruction; and
a control unit which is communicatively coupled to said connection detecting unit and said setting unit, wherein in a case that said connection detection unit detects the connection to the image pickup apparatus, said control unit effects control so as to transmit to the image pickup apparatus the plurality of kinds of control data changed by said setting unit.
