ABSTRACT:
An image projection apparatus is disclosed with which problems, caused by performing focusing control in a state in which the light amount of a light source is insufficient, can be avoided. The image projection apparatus comprises a controller, performing focusing control of a projection optical system, and a brightness detector which detects at least one of a brightness of the light source and a brightness of a reflected light on a projection surface. After turning the light source on, the controller restricts the focusing control until the brightness detected by the brightness detector reaches a predetermined value.
