1. An apparatus that includes a sensor and is configured to control an aperture, the apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory having instructions that, when executed by the processor, performs operations as:
a detection unit configured to detect a luminance of an object;
a control unit configured to execute an exposure control by adjusting at least one of, based on a result of a detection by the detection unit, a shutter speed, an aperture value, and an image capturing sensitivity; and
a setting unit configured to switch on and off a simulation function for adjusting an image quality of an image for live view display on a display apparatus to match an image quality corresponding to an opening of the aperture for acquiring a still image for recording,
wherein in a case where the simulation function is on, the control unit controls
(1) a difference amount between an aperture value for acquiring the image for live view display and an aperture value for acquiring the still image depending on an aperture value for acquiring the still image for recording, and
(2) the difference amount such that the difference amount obtained when the aperture value for acquiring the still image corresponds to a second aperture value is larger than the difference amount obtained when the aperture value for acquiring the still image corresponds to a first aperture value, the second aperture value being larger than the first aperture value, and
wherein the image quality of the image for live view and the image quality of the still image are changed due to the aperture value for acquiring the image for live view and the aperture value for acquiring the still image, respectively.
