An imaging apparatus according to the present invention includes at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: a first exposure control unit configured to perform first exposure control to suppress overexposure of a captured image; an image processing unit configured to perform image processing to suppress drop in brightness of a low brightness region of the image on a basis of a control amount of the first exposure control; and a second exposure control unit configured to perform second exposure control to bring a brightness of a high brightness region of a captured image closer to a target brightness which is set by a user, wherein in a case where the second exposure control is performed, the first exposure control unit does not perform the first exposure control.

Embodiments of the present invention provide concepts for camera modules including multiple apertures but only one image sensor for sensing light received via the multiple apertures. In particular, embodiments may provide a camera module including electrically controllable reflective components able to switch between reflective and transmissive states such that light from the apertures may be directed towards the single image sensor or not.

An image capture apparatus obtains image data for a plurality of frames using an image sensor by performing a plurality of shots under an underexposure condition. The image capture apparatus corrects a brightness of the image data for the plurality of frames and generates data of a composite image by compositing the image data for the plurality of frames of which brightness have been corrected.
