Abstract

An imaging apparatus receives a command including a first coordinate value and a second coordinate value, from a client apparatus. A determination unit determines whether or not a target region exists at or near a boundary of an imaging range corresponding to the first coordinate value and the second coordinate value. In a case in which the determination unit determines that the target region exists at the boundary of the imaging range, a control unit adjusts an imaging range to include the target region. In a case in which the determination unit determines that the target region does not exist at the boundary of the imaging range, the control unit sets an imaging range to be captured, to the imaging range corresponding to the first coordinate value and the second coordinate value.
