ABSTRACT:
An image pickup apparatus is provided that can switch between an optical viewfinder mode for identifying an object using an optical viewfinder and a live view mode for identifying an image of an object using a monitor. The apparatus includes an auto-focus unit able to be configured in the optical viewfinder mode; and a control unit configured to switch, in a case where a mode for performing exposure control in association with an auto-focus result obtained by the auto-focus unit is set, when the optical viewfinder mode is switched to the live view mode, to a mode for performing exposure control not in association with the auto-focus result.
