Abstract:
A focusing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire locus data that indicates a position of a focus lens that depends on an object distance and a position of a zoom lens, and an adjustment value used to adjust the position of the focus lens on the locus data, a correction unit configured to correct the adjustment value based on an aberration of an optical system that includes the zoom lens and the focus lens, and a control unit configured to control the position of the focus lens based on the locus data and the corrected adjustment value.
