A control apparatus for an imaging apparatus having a drive unit for tilting of an imaging element includes a tilt angle setting unit configured to set a tilt angle, and a control unit configured to perform control so as not to change a parameter that affects the tilt angle during tilt angle setting.

Control apparatus and control method

A control apparatus includes a setting unit that sets an evaluation area in an image, and an angle control unit that adjusts a tilt angle based on an evaluation value in the evaluation area. The setting unit sets a first evaluation area relating to a first object, a second evaluation area relating to a second object closer than the first object, and a first partial evaluation area and a second partial evaluation area both of which are obtained by dividing the second evaluation area. The angle control unit adjusts the tilt angle so as to increase a sum of a first evaluation value in the first evaluation area and a second evaluation value in the second evaluation area, and sets the tilt angle based on a third evaluation value in the first partial evaluation area and a fourth evaluation value in the second partial evaluation area.

Control apparatus, imaging apparatus, and storage medium

A control apparatus for an image pickup apparatus including a drive unit configured to drive a tilting of an image pickup element includes a field angle setting unit configured to set a field angle, a focus setting unit configured to set a focus after the field angle is set, and a tilt angle setting unit configured to set a tilt angle in accordance with a user operation after the field angle and the focus are set.
