Abstract
An imaging apparatus acquires pixel signals for each region of a plurality of regions obtained by dividing an imaging plane having a plurality of pixels arranged in a two-dimensional pattern and detects a region among the plurality of regions in which a subject image has changed. The imaging apparatus determines an image capturing mode and controls to perform image capturing in the determined image capturing mode in response to the region in which the subject image has changed being detected and to output a captured image. The imaging apparatus determines the image capturing mode by selecting a first image capturing mode or a second image capturing mode based on the region in which the subject image has changed.
