Provided are a drive control apparatus and a drive control method for a vibration wave driving apparatus enabling a wider dynamic range and increased quietness. The drive control apparatus for a vibration wave driving apparatus of the present invention is a drive control apparatus for a vibration wave driving apparatus in which, by providing a drive signal to a vibrator provided with an electro-mechanical energy conversion device, a driven part in contact with the vibrator is relatively moved, wherein, when the driven part is activated by changing a frequency of the drive signal, a time throughout which the drive signal is made to be in an off state is provided every time the frequency is changed. |
