An exposure apparatus includes a controller configured to control scanning of an original holding unit and a substrate holding unit to expose a first pattern forming area onto a plurality of second pattern forming areas formed in advance on the substrate. The first pattern forming area is superimposed on the plurality of second pattern forming areas. An original may include the first pattern forming area in plural. The controller is configured to change the operation of the original holding unit or the substrate holding unit among the plurality of second pattern forming areas based on a state of the second pattern forming areas or a state of the first pattern forming areas while the first pattern forming areas are scanning-exposed onto the plurality of second pattern forming areas in a single scanning between the original holding unit and the substrate holding unit.
