Original Abstract Submitted

A robot system includes a camera with an auto-focus lens, and a robot for performing work on the basis of an image capturing result of the camera, and can set a plurality of programs for using the camera. The robot system further includes a user interface that can set a focus position of the auto-focus lens in each of the programs, and a storage unit that stores focus values set in each of the plurality of programs. The user interface is configured to be able to execute, during execution of a program, a first image capture mode for performing image capturing using an auto-focus function of the auto-focus lens, and a second image capture mode for performing image capturing using the focus value stored in the storage unit, without using the auto-focus function.
