An automatic tracking control apparatus for a camera apparatus having a panning or tilting function, comprising an object recognition unit to recognize an object in picked-up image, a tracking object setting unit to set the recognized object as tracking object, an output position setting unit to set a position in the image for outputting the image of the tracking object, a control computing unit to output drive signal to locate the tracked object at the output position, and an image output unit to output an image in which an indication of the tracking object is superimposed on the image. Automatic tracking is suspended to change the position of the tracking object in the image by the output position setting unit, and automatic tracking is restarted by outputting a drive signal for driving the camera apparatus to locate the tracked object at the output position.
