When an imaging apparatus performs normal image-capturing, an energization control unit energizes a driving source to move a body release lever from a locking position to a releasing position, and then does not energize the driving source. When the imaging apparatus performs continuous image-capturing, the energization control unit energizes the driving source to move the body release lever from the locking position to the releasing position, and then energizes the driving source to regulate bounding of the body release lever.
