<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image pickup apparatus capable of achieving superior moving image shooting even when strobe pop-up is not successfully performed during moving image shooting. <P>SOLUTION: The image pickup apparatus includes an image pickup element, a strobe that shifts between a retracted position and a service position, and a drive that drives the strobe to the service position. The apparatus has an instructing means that instructs the drive part to drive the strobe to the service position, a detection means that detects whether the strobe has been normally driven to the service position, and an error handling means that carries out error handling when the detection means detects that the strobe has not been normally driven to the service position. The error handling means carries out the error handling differently between a case where the moving image shooting for continuously recording an image signal continuously output from the image pickup element is being performed and a case where the moving image shooting is not being performed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
