1. A control device, comprising:
an actuator;
a battery;
a capacitor;
a power source selection portion configured to select one of the battery and the capacitor as a power supply source for the actuator;
a determination unit configured to determine whether the battery is normal; and
a control unit configured to select, as a control mode of the actuator, one of a first mode and a second mode in which a power consumption amount of the actuator is reduced as compared to when the actuator is driven in the first mode, and drive the actuator in the selected control mode, such that when the battery is determined to be normal, the battery is selected by the power source selection portion and the first mode is selected as the control mode, and when a state in which the battery is determined to be normal is transitioned to a state in which the battery is determined to be not normal, the control mode is switched from the first mode to the second mode, and then the capacitor is selected by the power source selection portion.
