The present invention provides an imaging apparatus capable of performing a live view display showing a multiple image combination result image generated by combining a through-the-lens image with an already captured image at a more suitable combination ratio according to a user's intended operation during multiple exposure shooting. The imaging apparatus switches a multiple image combination result image displayed as a live view from a multiple image combination result image combined at a first combination ratio to a multiple image combination result image combined at a second combination ratio allowing a user to preliminarily check a combination ratio for generating a multiple image combination result image to be recorded into a recording medium, according to a user's operation.
