To appropriately determine an imaging scene.
The imaging apparatus determines whether an imaging scene of an image is a scene in water or not according to which range of a graph for determining the imaging scene the image applies to, based on color information included in the captured and generated image. In this case, when it cannot be determined whether the imaging scene is a scene in water or not, it is determined whether the imaging environment of the imaging apparatus is in water or not based on detection of a prescribed pressure on the whole surface of a touch panel, and it is determined whether the imaging scene is a scene in water or not based on the determination result. Thus, the imaging scene can be determined by using the touch panel even when the color information of the captured image is not enough for appropriately determining whether the imaging scene is a scene in water or not.
