An imaging system includes a sound recording apparatus and an imaging apparatus that is connected to the sound recording apparatus and records, as moving-image sounds, sounds collected by the sound recording apparatus. The imaging apparatus detects whether the sound recording apparatus has been connected thereto. Upon detecting that the sound recording apparatus has been connected to the imaging apparatus, the imaging apparatus sets a sound-recording condition associated with the sound recording apparatus as a sound-recording condition for the imaging apparatus in a sound recording process and records sounds under the sound-recording condition that has been set.
