Abstract
A mechanism to select an optimum standby state canceling method in terms of power consumption. A radiographic apparatus is configured to capture a radiographic image based on an incident radiation and operates in any of a plurality of standby states different in power consumption. Each of the standby states is less in power consumption than a radiography-enabled state where the radiographic apparatus is enabled to capture the radiographic image. A selection unit selects a standby state from the plurality of standby states so that a transition time is shorter than an irradiation preparation time. The transition time is a time necessary for the radiographic apparatus to make a transition from the standby state to the radiography-enabled state. The irradiation preparation time is a time necessary for a radiation generation apparatus configured to generate a radiation to prepare irradiation of the radiation after a radiation irradiation preparation request is received.
