1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
acquire a distance to an object included in a divided area obtained by dividing a capturing area; and
determine a settable range of an exposure time for the divided area based on the distance,
wherein an upper limit of the exposure time is set for a divided area where the distance is less than or equal to a threshold, and
wherein the upper limit of the exposure time is not set for a divided area where the distance exceeds the threshold.
