Patent ID: 8836818

Claim:
A control apparatus for mounting in an image capture apparatus, the control apparatus comprising: a first circuit board that is independently exchangeable and has an electric component and a non-volatile first storage unit mounted thereon; a second circuit board that has an electric component and a non-volatile second storage unit mounted thereon; and a controller that accumulates and stores information corresponding to an imaging count in a third storage unit at a first timing that corresponds to imaging performed by the image capture apparatus, and causes information corresponding to the information stored in the third storage unit to be stored in one of the first storage unit and the second storage unit at a second timing that occurs at a longer interval than the first timing, wherein in a case where the information regarding the imaging count which has been stored in the first or second storage unit is moved to the third storage unit, the controller moves the information corresponding to the imaging count to the third storage unit after comparing information regarding the imaging count stored in the first storage unit and information regarding the imaging count stored in the second storage unit.
