An image capture apparatus capable of communicating with an external apparatus via a network has a change unit configured to change an image capture position of image capturing means for capturing an image of an object. In response to a request received from an external apparatus, the image capture apparatus generates a response including a first field in which the operation state of the change unit is described, and sends the generated response to the external apparatus. Here, if the change unit is in initialization, the image capture apparatus generates a response that specifies that the change unit is in initialization using a combination of descriptions in multiple fields, including the first field.
