Abstract
A control apparatus is operable to control capturing by an image capturing apparatus. The control apparatus comprises: a detection unit configured to detect a feature portion included in an image that was captured by the image capturing apparatus; and a determination unit configured to, based on a subject region that surrounds a subject including a feature portion detected by the detection unit, determine an exposure region for calculating an exposure. The determination unit determines the exposure region by extending the subject region in a first direction.
