ABSTRACT:
In an image pickup apparatus which is provided with both a large-size image display monitor and an EVF of the type which is provided in a video camera or the like, the EVF is provided with a proximity-of-eye detecting circuit, and if proximity of an eye of a photographer is detected, the large-size image display monitor is turned off. However, if the large-size image display monitor faces the direction of a subject side, the large-size image display monitor remains on. Accordingly, power consumption is reduced, and a subject can visually confirm a photographed image even during photography. In addition, if the proximity of the eye of the photographer is detected, control of the image pickup apparatus based on an external (for example, wireless) control signal is inhibited.
