1. An electronic device for supporting image capturing by an imaging apparatus, the electronic device comprising at least one processor and/or at least one circuit which function as:
a generating unit configured to generate, in a virtual space, a first object indicating a current image capturing range of the imaging apparatus, and a second object presenting, as a moving destination of the first object, an image capturing range in a case where the imaging apparatus has a predetermined position and a predetermined orientation; and
a display control unit configured to display the first object and the second object,
wherein, when the generating unit determines that a user of the image capturing apparatus has caused the first object to overlay with the second object, the generating unit generates the second object corresponding to an image capturing range in a case where the imaging apparatus has a newly determined predetermined position and a newly determined predetermined orientation.
