Abstract
An image pickup apparatus includes a detection unit configured to detect a specific object from an image picked up by an image pickup unit, a determination unit configured to determine whether a subject is a moving object, and a setting unit configured to set a sensitivity to be used when the determination unit determines that the subject is a moving object. The setting unit sets the sensitivity depending on whether the specific object is detected by the detection unit.
Claims18
An image pickup apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- at least one processor communicatively connected to the at least one memory and configured to execute the stored instructions to function as:
- a detection unit configured to detect a specific object from an image picked up by an image pickup unit;
- a determination unit configured to determine whether a subject is a moving object;
- and
- a setting unit configured to set a sensitivity to be used when the determination unit determines that the subject is a moving object,
- wherein the setting unit sets the sensitivity depending on whether the specific object is detected by the detection unit.
