An image pickup apparatus, including: a filter including transmittance variable element and adjusting amount of incident light from lens; a photoelectric transducer; and guide optical system guiding the incident light from the filter to the photoelectric transducer. The guide optical system includes color separation optical system including, in order from object side, first prism having first dichroic film, second prism having second dichroic film, and third prism, to separate the incident light into red, green, and blue. The first or second dichroic film is blue reflection dichroic film. Rotational position of the transmittance variable element about optical axis is such a position that ratio of transmittance for blue to transmittance for green of marginal ray entering the blue reflection dichroic film at incident angle smaller than principal ray of axial ray to the blue reflection dichroic film is smaller than such ratio of the principal ray of axial ray.
