1. An image capture apparatus that is remotely controllable by an operation apparatus, the image capture apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the image capture apparatus to function as:
an image capturing unit that captures an image;
a communication unit that communicates with the operation apparatus;
an image processing unit that detects an object in the image;
a control unit that performs framing control of the image, including the object, based on a framing operation received from the operation apparatus after the communication unit transmits the image to the operation apparatus; and
a delay acquisition unit that acquires a delay time in the communication processing with the operation apparatus,
wherein the image processing unit calculates a framing control amount based on a predicted movement amount of the object in the delay time, an actual movement amount of the object before and after the delay time, and a framing operation amount received from the operation apparatus,
the control unit performs the framing control based on the framing control amount, and
the delay acquisition unit acquires the delay time, before image capturing, in advance.
