Abstract:
An image pickup apparatus includes an image sensor configured to photoelectrically convert an optical image of a subject to accumulate electric charge, an optical member located on a subject side of the image sensor, a vibration unit configured to vibrate the optical member, a display unit configured to display a moving image based on a captured image signal output from the image sensor, and a control unit configured to perform drive control of the image sensor, the vibration unit, and the display unit, wherein, in a case where the optical member is vibrated while the moving image is displayed, the control unit causes the vibration unit to vibrate the optical member in a time between two readout periods for reading out electric charge accumulated in the image sensor and not to vibrate the optical member in the readout periods.
