ABSTRACT:
An image pickup apparatus includes a zoom lens including at least two movable lens groups; an image pickup element that converts an optical image formed with the zoom lens into an electric signal; and an image processor that electrically corrects a lateral chromatic aberration to be generated at the zoom lens. The zoom lens satisfies Conditional Expressions (1) and (2) as follows,in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?−5.0<W_ate(X)/T_ate(X)<−0.2 (1)in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?0.003<|Max_ate(10)/Himg |<0.03 (2)in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?where W_ate(X) is an aberration amount of the lateral chromatic aberration from the C-line to the g-line, at a wide-angle end, corresponding to a (X×10) % image height, T_ate(X) is an aberration amount of the lateral chromatic aberration from the C-line to the g-line, at a telephoto end, corresponding to a (X×10) % image height, Max_ate(X) is one of W_ate(10) and T_ate(10), the one having a larger absolute value, and Himg is a diagonal length of the image pickup element.
