The invention provides an image capture and display control apparatus that includes an imaging control unit that operates an image capturing unit at a first time interval so as to obtain a captured image with the image capturing unit and a display control unit that displays the captured image on a display unit, which operates at a second time interval. The apparatus changes at least one of an image capture start timing of the image capturing unit and a processing time from the start of image capturing by the image capturing unit until entering a standby state in which the captured image can be displayed by the display unit, so as to shorten a display delay time, which is caused by the second time interval, from the start of operation by the image capturing unit until display of the image data by the display unit.
