  • Publication number: 20240040237
    Abstract: An image capture apparatus performs control to display a subject image, receives an image captured by another other image capture apparatus, and determines whether or not the other image capture apparatus is capable of capturing an image of a range including the subject. When the other image capture apparatus is capable of capturing an image of the range including the subject, a control is performed to display, on the subject image, an index indicating the image-capturing direction at a location corresponding to the image-capturing position of the image, and the determination is performed by executing pattern matching processing or subject recognition processing on the subject image and the received image from the other image capture apparatus, and the other image capture apparatus is capable of capturing an image of the range including the subject if the subject matches a subject included in the received image.
