Abstract:
An image capture apparatus comprises a photometry unit that acquires photometric information that indicates brightness of a captured image of a subject, a control unit that controls exposure based on the photometric information, and a correction unit that, at a time of acquiring a plurality of images, which are to be used when generating a time-lapse moving image and are obtained by consecutive image capturing of a subject, obtains a difference between first photometric information acquired prior to a first image capturing in the consecutive image capturing and second photometric information based on an image obtained by performing the first image capturing in a state in which exposure control has been performed, and corrects photometric information at the time of second and subsequent image capturing in the consecutive image capturing using the difference.
