Abstract
An image capture apparatus includes an image capture unit, a communication unit that receives subject information about a subject captured by an external apparatus, and a control unit that controls the image capture apparatus based on a first operation mode in a case where the subject information does not include information about a main subject, or based on a second operation mode in a case where the subject information includes the information about the main subject. The first operation mode is an operation mode of searching for the main subject, and the second operation mode is an operation mode of capturing an image of the subject at an angle of view that is different from an angle of view of the external apparatus.
