Claim 10:
11. A method of controlling a radiographic imaging apparatus including an image generation unit configured to generate a radiographic image based on incident radiation, the method comprising:
receiving irradiation preparation start information about a start of preparation for irradiation with the radiation in a radiation generation apparatus that generates the radiation; and
selecting a state transition mode from among a first state transition mode of changing from a stand-by state to a ready-for-imaging state based on the irradiation preparation start information and a second state transition mode of changing from the stand-by state to the ready-for-imaging state based on other information excluding the irradiation preparation start information, the state transition mode being selected based on a state transition characteristic in changing from the stand-by state in which power consumption is lower than power consumption in the ready-for-imaging state to the ready-for-imaging state in the radiographic imaging apparatus and a radiation irradiation characteristic in changing to a ready-for-radiation-irradiation state in the radiation generation apparatus.
