4. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1,
further comprising a recording unit configured to record information necessary for a capturing operation,
wherein the control section causes the recording unit to record a frame speed detected by the frame speed detector.
5. The imaging apparatus according to claim 4,
further comprising a temperature detector,
wherein the control section causes the recording unit to record the frame speed only when a temperature detected by the temperature detector is within a predetermined range.
6. The imaging apparatus according to claim 4,
wherein the control section averages the frame speed detected by the frame speed detector and causes the recording unit to record the averaged frame speed.
7. The imaging apparatus according to claim 4,
wherein when the difference between the specified frame speed and the frame speed recorded in the recording unit exceeds the predetermined range, the control section sets a new predetermined time by adjusting the predetermined time based on the difference between the specified frame speed and the frame speed recorded in the recording unit, and
wherein the stand-by operation is performed by standing by for the new predetermined time.
