An image pickup apparatus includes an image sensor for photoelectrically converting light incident from a field to produce an image signal via al least two output portions. The temperature of the image sensor is sensed. The image sensor is driven such that the image signal is output via one of the output portions if the temperature sensed is higher than a predetermined value inclusive or is output via the two output portions if the former is lower than the latter. A black level corrector uses, when the image signal is output via one of the output portions, a predetermined single value as a reference to execute black level correction on the image signal, or uses, when the image signal is output via the two output portions, a particular predetermined value as a reference to execute black level correction on each of image signals output from respective output portions.
