11. An imaging system comprising an imaging apparatus, and devices which communicate with the imaging apparatus,
wherein at least one of the devices comprises a display unit which displays a subject image sent from the imaging apparatus, an operation unit which receives an operation, a first communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with the imaging apparatus, and a control unit which generates a control signal on the basis of an operation by the operation unit and sends the generated control signal to the imaging apparatus, and the imaging apparatus comprises an imaging unit which images a subject to acquire the subject image, a second communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with the devices, an output unit configured to output the subject image to the device previously set as an output destination among the devices, a recognition unit which recognizes that the device that has sent the control signal is operated by a user when the control signal is received, and an output control unit which changes the output destination of the subject image by the output unit when the recognition unit recognizes that the device that has sent the control signal is operated by the user.
