Claim 11:
12. A control method for controlling, using automatic exposure control of controlling a radiation generation apparatus by comparing a radiation dose relating to radiation from the radiation generation apparatus with a target dose, radiation imaging using radiation from the radiation generation apparatus, the method comprising:
setting a target dose determined based on an image processing parameter selected according to an instruction by an operator from among a plurality of image processing parameters relating to a radiation image obtained by the radiation imaging, as the target dose used by the automatic exposure control, wherein if the selected image processing parameter indicates that scattered ray reduction processing is to be executed, a first target dose is set as the target dose used by the automatic exposure control, and if the selected image processing parameter indicates that scattered ray reduction processing is not to be executed, a second target dose different from the first target dose is set as the target dosed used by the automatic exposure control.
