1. An imaging apparatus, comprising:
a frame rate region setting unit configured to set a frame rate region for setting a frame rate of an image;
a recognition unit configured to recognize a particular subject in the image; and
a determination unit configured to determine whether or not a distance between the recognized particular subject and the set frame rate region is equal to or smaller than a threshold,
wherein the frame rate region setting unit sets the frame rate region according to an operation of a user within a user interface,
wherein the operation of the user includes tracing a line,
wherein, when the distance between the particular subject and the frame rate region is equal to or smaller than the threshold, the frame rate of the image is set based on a position of the particular subject and a position of a coordinate set within the set frame rate region, and
wherein the frame rate region setting unit, the recognition unit, and the determination unit are each implemented via at least one processor.
