Claim:
1. An image pickup apparatus capable of performing continuous photographing with a specified frame speed, comprising: an image pickup device; an exposure unit configured to perform exposure of said image pickup device in response to a photographing instruction; a detection unit configured to detect peak timing of flicker; a switching unit configured to switch between first exposure in which said exposure unit performs an exposure operation by making the exposure operation synchronous with the peak timing of flicker detected by said detection unit and second exposure in which said exposure unit performs an exposure operation without making the exposure operation synchronous with the peak timing of flicker detected by said detection unit; and a correction unit configured to correct a photographed image obtained by the second exposure, wherein said switching unit switches between the first exposure and the second exposure, based on the peak timing of flicker detected by said detection unit.
