Claim:
An imaging apparatus comprising: an imaging unit; a generation unit configured to multiple-synthesize a through image captured by the imaging unit and at least a captured image, and to generate a multiple-composite image; a display control unit configured to perform control to display the multiple-composite image generated by the generation unit on a display unit while sequentially updating the multiple-composite image; and a magnification instruction receiving unit configured to receive an image magnification instruction, wherein the display control unit performs control, in response to a reception of the magnification instruction by the magnification instruction receiving unit, so as to magnify and display the through image captured by the imaging unit on the display unit, and wherein the display control unit performs control, in a case where the magnification instruction receiving unit receives the magnification instruction while the multiple-composite image is displayed, so as to display the magnified through image without displaying the multiple-composite image.
