• the first setting operation screen is configured to execute an operation of the setting item, and
• the display of the first setting operation screen is controlled based on an instruction on an operation of the setting item included in both the first tab and the second tab;
• and
• controlling, in a case where the setting item is selected as the independent setting, display of a second setting operation screen, wherein
• the display of the second setting operation screen is controlled based on the current imaging mode, and
• the second setting operation screen is different from the first setting operation screen.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• controlling display of a first tab and a second tab, wherein each of the first tab and the second tab includes a setting item;
• controlling display of a selection operation screen which includes a user selectable option for selection of the setting item as one of a common setting or an independent setting, wherein
• the setting item is related to an imaging operation,
• the common setting is commonly controlled for a plurality of imaging modes, and
• the independent setting is independently controlled for each imaging mode of the plurality of imaging modes;
• controlling, in a case where the setting item is selected as the common setting, display of a first setting operation screen common to the plurality of imaging modes regardless of a current imaging mode, wherein
• the first setting operation screen is configured to execute an operation of the setting item, and
• the display of the first setting operation screen is controlled based on an instruction on an operation of the setting item included in both the first tab and the second tab;
• and
• controlling, in a case where the setting item is selected as the independent setting, display of a second setting operation screen, wherein
• the display of the second setting operation screen is controlled based on the current imaging mode, and
• the second setting operation screen is different from the first setting operation screen.

An imaging apparatus, comprising:

• a Central Processing Unit (CPU) configured to:
• control display of a first tab and a second tab as a setting menu screen, wherein
• the first tab includes a setting item corresponding to a first imaging mode of a plurality of imaging modes of the imaging apparatus, and
• the second tab includes a setting item corresponding to a second imaging mode of the plurality of imaging modes;
• control display of a selection operation screen which includes a user selectable option for selection of the setting item of the first tab or the second tab as one of a common setting or an independent setting, wherein
• the setting item is related to an imaging operation,
• the common setting is commonly controlled for the plurality of imaging modes, and
• the independent setting is independently controlled for each imaging mode of the plurality of imaging modes;
• control, in a case where the setting item is the common setting, display of a first setting operation screen common to the plurality of imaging modes regardless of a current imaging mode of the imaging apparatus, wherein
• the first setting operation screen is configured to execute an operation of the setting item;
• control display of a second setting operation screen in a case where the setting item is the independent setting, wherein
• the display of the second setting operation screen is controlled based on the current imaging mode, and
• the second setting operation screen is different from the first setting operation screen;
• and
• control, in a case where the setting item is the independent setting, display of an icon to distinguish that the setting item of the first tab corresponds to the first imaging mode and the setting item of the second tab corresponds to the second imaging mode.

An imaging apparatus, comprising:

• a Central Processing Unit (CPU) configured to:
