Abstract
A control apparatus that is capable of quickly and easily reducing the positional deviation of a gaze point, occurring whenever a photographer's eye is brought into contact with a viewfinder. A position corresponding to a gaze point of a user is estimated and corrected based on a position of an indicator displayed on a display section and the position corresponding to the gaze point of the user associated with the position of the indicator. In a first mode, the correction is performed based on positions of a first number of indicators, and in a second mode, the correction is performed based on a second number, smaller than the first number, of indicators.
