1. A control apparatus comprising:
at least one memory storing instructions; and
at least one processor that, upon execution of the instructions, is configured to operate as:
a detection unit configured to detect, based on images captured by a first imaging apparatus, a gesture performed by a subject, the first imaging apparatus being among a plurality of imaging apparatuses that includes a second imaging apparatus different from the first imaging apparatus, the second imaging apparatus being configured to be controlled based on the gesture performed by the subject;
an acquisition unit configured to acquire control information for controlling the second imaging apparatus, the control information being associated with the gesture detected by the detection unit;
a control unit configured to control the second imaging apparatus based on the control information acquired by the acquisition unit; and
a determination unit configured to determine whether the gesture performed by the subject is detectable based on images captured by the second imaging apparatus based on either images of the second imaging apparatus or an imaging state of the second imaging apparatus or both images captured by the second imaging apparatus and the imaging state of the second imaging apparatus,
wherein, in a case where the determination unit determines that the gesture is not detectable, the detection unit detects the gesture performed by the subject based on images captured by the first imaging apparatus, and
wherein, in a case where the determination unit determines that the gesture is detectable, the detection unit detects the gesture performed by the subject based on images captured by the second imaging apparatus.
