ABSTRACT:
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit configured to perform, as an image capturing operation, a process of obtaining captured image data of a subject and save the captured image data; a position detecting unit configured to detect current position information; and a control unit configured to update activity history information on the basis of the position information obtained by the position detecting unit and, when performing image capturing control as an automatic image capturing process not based on a shutter operation performed by a user, set an image capturing operation setting on the basis of the current position information detected by the position detecting unit and the activity history information, and cause the imaging unit to perform an image capturing operation based on the image capturing operation setting.
