IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS THAT PERFORMS PROCESS OF DETECTING CHANGE IN BRIGHTNESS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

An image pickup apparatus capable of appropriately performing a flicker detection process depending on presence or absence of flicker. A detection unit performs a detection process of detecting a change in brightness or a detection process set in advance other than the detection process of detecting the change in brightness depending on an image acquired by picking up a subject every predetermined detection cycle. A control unit controls a frequency to perform the detection process of detecting the change in brightness and a frequency to perform the detection process set in advance using the detection unit depending on a result of the detection of the change in brightness performed by the detection unit at a time of picking up the subject.
