Abstract:
An image capture apparatus sets a plurality of target focus positions, causes an image sensor to capture a plurality of images based on the target focus positions, and calculates focus positions with respect to an object of a plurality of captured images. In a case where the image capture apparatus captures a first image and a second image sequentially and where a difference between a focus position calculated for capturing the first image and a focus position calculated for capturing the second image is higher than a predetermined threshold value, the image capture apparatus resets a part of the target focus positions for images to be captured subsequently.
