Communication apparatus, control method for communication apparatus, and storage medium

A control method for a communication apparatus, the control method comprising:

• receiving a notification transmitted from an image capturing apparatus;
• when the received notification indicates that a divided moving image file to be generated using a first recording method which continues moving image recording from when the image capturing apparatus receives an instruction for recording from a user until the image capturing apparatus receives an instruction for ending of recording from the user and generates divided moving image files for every predetermined time or for every predetermined size has been generated, performing control to request the divided moving image file from the image capturing apparatus;
• when the received notification indicates that a metadata file associated with the divided moving image file has been generated, performing control not to request the metadata file from the image capturing apparatus;
• and
• when the received notification indicates that a metadata file associated with the divided moving image file has been updated, performing control to request the metadata file from the image capturing apparatus.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a communication apparatus, cause the communication apparatus to execute a control method, the control method comprising:

• receiving a notification transmitted from an image capturing apparatus;
• when the received notification indicates that a divided moving image file to be generated using a first recording method which continues moving image recording from when the image capturing apparatus receives an instruction for recording from a user until the image capturing apparatus receives an instruction for ending of recording from the user and generates divided moving image files for every predetermined time or for every predetermined size has been generated, performing control to request the divided moving image file from the image capturing apparatus;
• when the received notification indicates that a metadata file associated with the divided moving image file has been generated, performing control not to request the metadata file from the image capturing apparatus;
• and
• when the received notification indicates that a metadata file associated with the divided moving image file has been updated, performing control to request the metadata file from the image capturing apparatus.
