1. A control apparatus comprising:
one or more memories storing instructions; and
one or more processors that, upon execution of the stored instructions, are configured to:
perform determination processing to determine a focus degree of each of two or more partial areas in a captured image acquired by a camera; and
select, based on the determined focus degree of each of the two or more partial areas, a subject detection area in the captured image acquired by the camera,
wherein the one or more processors are further configured to perform adjustment processing to adjust a focus position of the camera,
wherein, based on distance information about a subject detected from the captured image, the one or more processors are configured to change the focus position in the adjustment processing, and change the subject detection area, and
wherein the one or more processors are configured to set an adjustment amount of the focus position by the adjustment processing based on hyperfocal distance information obtained from an imaging condition based on the distance information about the subject.
