A subject is tracked during continuous shooting, and the degree of reliability of the tracking result is determined. When it is determined that the degree of reliability of the tracking result is high, control values of exposure used to capture an image of the previous frame are configured as those used to capture an image of the next frame, thereby omitting calculation of control values of exposure. Upon this operation, in an image capture apparatus having a continuous shooting function, and a method of controlling the same, suppression of exposure variations and shortening of the exposure calculation time during continuous shooting can be effectively achieved.
