1. An imaging apparatus, which captures a first captured image and a second captured image for generating a 360-degree image by combining (a) a first image corresponding to a first field of view acquired from the first captured image and (b) a second image corresponding to a second field of view, which is different from the first field of view, acquired from the second captured image, the imaging apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the imaging apparatus to:
(1) perform control to capture the first captured image,
(2) perform control to provide a predetermined notification for requesting a user to move from the second field of view to the first field of view, after capturing the first captured image, and
(3) perform control to capture the second captured image after performing the predetermined notification.
