This invention provides a network management apparatus (101) for appropriately managing a photographing network. A plurality of apparatuses including a master apparatus (101, 202) that issues a control command to control a photographic operation and a slave apparatus (204, 205) that executes the control command belong to the photographing network. The network management apparatus preferentially determines, out of the plurality of apparatuses belonging to the photographing network, a master apparatus as a candidate apparatus that becomes a new network management apparatus in a case that the network management apparatus is disconnected from the photographing network managed by the network management apparatus itself. |
