Claim Text:
1. A focus adjustment apparatus, comprising: a focus detection unit to detect image phase difference information using a light flux having passed through a photographic optical system including a focus lens; a storage unit to store a conversion coefficient for converting the image phase difference information into a defocus amount; and a focus adjustment unit to convert the image phase difference information into the defocus amount using the conversion coefficient and to perform focus adjustment by moving the focus lens according to the defocus amount, wherein the focus adjustment unit converts first image phase difference information detected by the focus detection unit into a first defocus amount using the conversion coefficient and causes the focus detection unit to detect second image phase difference information after having moved the focus lens according to the first defocus amount, converts the second image phase difference information into a second defocus amount using the conversion coefficient, and corrects the conversion coefficient according to the first defocus amount and the second defocus amount and causes the storage unit to store the corrected conversion coefficient.
