A radiation image capturing system includes at least one image capturing apparatus (20) including a radiation detector (70), at least one image capturing apparatus (20) including a stimulable phosphor panel (P) for generating radiation image information, which is readable by an image reading apparatus (22), and at least one control device (16) for controlling at least the image capturing apparatus (20) and the image reading apparatus (22) based on image capturing instruction information supplied from an external source. The control device (16) includes a change setting unit (208) for changing settings of the image capturing instruction information depending on whether the image capturing apparatus (20) and the image reading apparatus (22) are usable or not, and a controller (200) for controlling the image capturing apparatus (20) and the image reading apparatus (22) based on the changed settings of the image capturing instruction information.
