1. An image capture apparatus, comprising:
a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
generate a captured image by capture of a subject;
detect an edge portion in the generated captured image;
detect a pixel position of the edge portion;
acquire pixel information of a reference pixel in a pixel region surrounding the pixel position of the edge portion;
determine one of a hue of an edge color of the edge portion or a brightness of the edge color based on the pixel information of the reference pixel; and
control a color of a highlighted display to highlight the detected pixel position of the edge portion, wherein the color of the highlighted display for the edge portion is controlled based on the determined one of the hue or the brightness of the edge color of the edge portion in the captured image.
