Abstract

See full text

An image pickup apparatus is configured such that if a monitoring unit detects that a focus evaluation value changes as much as or more than a predetermined threshold, a monitoring state caused by the monitoring unit transitions to a focus adjustment state by minute driving. The predetermined threshold in the monitoring performed in an in-focus position obtained by hill-climbing driving is greater than the predetermined threshold in the monitoring performed in an in-focus position obtained by the minute driving.
