1. An imaging apparatus comprising at least one memory and at least one processor which function as:
a first setting unit configured to set whether or not a first exposure control to suppress overexposure of a captured image is performed;
a second setting unit configured to set whether or not a second exposure control, to bring a brightness of a high brightness region of a captured image closer to a target brightness which is set by a user, is performed; and
a recording unit configured to record a captured image in a recording medium, wherein
a first brightness, which is a brightness of a low brightness region of a captured image recorded without performing the first exposure control and the second exposure control, is substantially the same as a second brightness, which is a brightness of a low brightness region of a captured image recorded after performing the first exposure control without performing the second exposure control, and
a third brightness, which is a brightness of a low brightness region of a captured image recorded after performing the first exposure control and the second exposure control, is lower than the first brightness and the second brightness.
