Abstract

See full text

An image capture apparatus includes an imaging element, first and second setting units, and a reading unit. The imaging element includes a plurality of pixels configured to have a plurality of photoelectric conversion units for one micro lens. The first setting unit sets a first region and a second region. The second setting unit sets a distance measurement region. The reading unit performs different readout operations in the first region and the second region. At the time of capturing images in a plurality of frames, when the second setting unit sets the same distance measurement region in the images in the plurality of frames, the first setting unit changes the position of the first region in the distance measurement region between the images in the plurality of frames at random or periodically.
