Claim:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising: a sensor configured to output a signal according to an incident light amount; and at least one processor that operates to: calculate an evaluation value in regard to a flicker based on the output signal from the sensor; notify a user of information about a presence of the flicker based on the evaluation value; and control processing for reducing an influence of the flicker based on the evaluation value, wherein, when the evaluation value is equal to or larger than a first threshold value, the at least one processor notifies the user of the information about the presence of the flicker, wherein, when the evaluation value is equal to or larger than a second threshold value which is larger than the first threshold value, the at least one processor performs control to carry out processing for reducing the influence of the flicker, wherein, when the evaluation value is equal to or larger than the first threshold value and is smaller than the second threshold value, the at least one processor performs control not to perform the processing for reducing the influence of the flicker, and wherein the first threshold value is different value from the second threshold value.
