Image capture apparatus in which an arrangement relationship between an image sensor and a microlens array can be varied, and method for controlling the same

摘要

Disclosed are an image capture apparatus in which an arrangement relationship between an image sensor and a microlens array that is arranged in front of the image sensor can be varied, and a method for controlling the same. In a state in which a photographic lens including the microlens array is attached, information on the photographic lens and information on the image sensor are used to control a distance between the microlens array and the image sensor, and an aperture value. The microlens array or the image sensor is shifted so that they are arranged at this distance, and the aperture value is set.

1. An image capture apparatus having an image sensor in which a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements are arranged, the image capture apparatus comprising:
an obtaining unit configured to obtain, from a photographic lens that includes a lens array and is attachable to and detachable from the image capture apparatus, information on the photographic lens; and a control unit configured to give an instruction to shift the lens array or the image sensor, so that the lens array and the image sensor are arranged at a distance based on the information on the photographic lens, in a state in which the photographic lens is attached, wherein the distance between the lens array and the image sensor is determined such that an outgoing light flux from each of lenses that constitute the lens array is incident on a predetermined number of the photoelectric conversion elements of the image sensor, the predetermined number being two or more.
