An apparatus includes a capturing unit, a change unit configured to change an imaging range in which an image is to be captured by the capturing unit, a processor, and a memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processor, wherein, in a case where the instructions stored in the memory are executed by the processor, the apparatus functions as an acquisition unit configured to acquire information about a plurality of external devices from the plurality of external devices, and a determination unit configured to determine an external device about which the information is to be acquired among the plurality of external devices based on the imaging range changed by the change unit.

Image capturing apparatus, control unit for image capturing apparatus, and storage medium

A control apparatus includes an angle control unit configured to change an angle between an imaging plane of an image sensor and a plane orthogonal to an optical axis of an imaging lens, an acquisition unit configured to acquire positional information of a specific area of an image, and a management unit configured to change the positional information based on the angle.

Control apparatus, imaging apparatus, and storage medium for adjusting a focal plane

A control apparatus includes a focus control unit configured to perform a focus control based on an image signal, a tilt control unit configured to control a tilt of an imaging plane based on the image signal, and a determination unit configured to determine a first evaluation area of the image signal used for the focus control and a second evaluation area of the image signal used for the tilt control in performing both the focus control and the tilt control. At least one processor or circuit is configured to perform a function of at least one of the units.
