Abstract
An apparatus includes an acquisition unit for acquiring a driving position of a capturing element which relates to tilt driving for changing a tilt angle formed between a surface of the capturing element and a main plane of an optical system by inclining the capturing element, a determination unit for determining whether the tilt angle exceeds a threshold based on the acquired driving position of the capturing element, and determining a user interface for operating a focus lens of the optical system based on a determination result.
