An image pickup apparatus detects a face region out of an image signal representative of a field picked up by an image pickup device, and compares the lightness of the face region or a person region with the lightness of a background region also included in the image signal to thereby determine whether or not a subject is backlit. The apparatus causes, if the subject is backlit, the image pickup apparatus to execute actual pickup with backlight correction.
