Abstract
An image pickup apparatus includes an imaging unit configured to photoelectrically convert an optical image formed by an optical system including a focus lens and to output image data, and a processor configured to control the focus lens, acquire information on a change start of an imaging direction from a pivoting driver configured to perform pivoting drive for at least one of a pan direction or a tilt direction, and drive the focus lens to a predetermined position using the change start of the imaging direction as a trigger.
Claims24
An image pickup apparatus comprising:
- an imaging unit configured to photoelectrically convert an optical image formed by an optical system including a focus lens and to output image data;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- control the focus lens,
- acquire information on a change start of an imaging direction from a pivoting driver configured to perform pivoting drive for at least one of a pan direction or a tilt direction, and
- drive the focus lens to a predetermined position using the change start of the imaging direction as a trigger.
