Abstract:
1. A control apparatus for controlling an imaging apparatus capable of changing an imaging direction of an imaging unit in panning and tilting directions, the control apparatus comprising: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a captured image captured by the imaging unit; and a display control unit configured to control to display, on the captured image, if an imaging direction of the imaging unit does not correspond to a panning rotational axis for rotating the imaging unit in the panning direction, a first panning direction guide for indicating that the imaging direction changes along a circle around a rotation center by panning the imaging unit, and to control to display, on the captured image, if the imaging direction of the imaging unit corresponds to the panning rotational axis, a second panning direction guide for indicating that the imaging unit rotates around an imaging center which is an intersection of an optical axis of the imaging unit and a plane containing the captured image by panning the imaging unit.
