Abstract
An image capture apparatus comprises a detection unit that detects a radio signal, an extraction unit that extracts feature information of a subject from image data, a selection unit that selects a sound reception device that receives sound data from at least one sound transmission device from which the radio signal can be received, and a reception unit that receives, by a wireless communication unit, sound data from the selected sound transmission device selected by the selection unit. Based on a result of comparing feature information of a subject as a shooting target with comparison information for selecting the sound transmission device, the selection unit selects the sound transmission device that transmits sound data corresponding to the subject as the shooting target from at least one sound transmission device from which the radio signal can be received.
