Abstract
An imaging apparatus is capable of imaging with the use of an illumination apparatus including a flash unit capable of changing a radiation direction, and includes: a photometry unit; a display unit that displays information about a result of photometry using the photometry unit; and a display control unit that executes a control related to display on the display unit, wherein when the illumination apparatus is performing a first operation of multiple emissions by the flash unit while changing automatically the radiation direction of the flash unit to a plurality of different directions, the display control unit performs a control so as not to display the information about the photometry result on the display unit.
