1. An image capture apparatus capable of performing sensor cleaning for removing an unwanted object on an image capture plane of an image sensor, the apparatus comprising:
one or more processors that execute a program stored in a memory and thereby function as:
a detection unit configured to detect occurrence of an event accompanied by turning off a power, and
a control unit configured to control the image capture apparatus,
wherein, in a case where setting has been made such that the sensor cleaning is to be automatically performed when the power is turned off:
if the event is a restart event, the control unit controls the image capture apparatus to perform restart processing without performing the sensor cleaning when the power is turned off, and
if the event is not the restart event, the control unit controls the image capture apparatus to perform the sensor cleaning when the power is turned off.
