An image pickup apparatus with a help function has a help mode in which a state or representation illustrating operating conditions is displayed on a display unit without actually applying a state or operating condition selected by operating an operating member (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22) to the image pickup apparatus. The image pickup apparatus includes a release button (9) for issuing a photographing instruction, and a unit (50) that, when the release button issues the photographing instruction, performs photographing under predetermined conditions regardless of a state or operating condition selected by operating the operating member during a help mode. |
