Abstract:
An endoscope apparatus includes an optical system including a focus lens, a connector to which an interchangeable optical system is connected, an image sensor configured to output a captured image based on the optical system and the interchangeable optical system, and a processor including hardware. The processor performs a determination process of determining whether the interchangeable optical system is a known or unknown optical system, implements a first step amount determination process when the interchangeable optical system is determined to be a known optical system, and implements a second step amount determination process when the interchangeable optical system is determined to be an unknown optical system and controls the focus lens based on step amount information determined.

Claim (Index 11):
The endoscope apparatus as defined in  claim 10 ,\n the processor obtaining a feature amount representing at least one of a shape of an image circle, a size of the image circle, and luminance distribution information based on the captured image, the operation interface receiving the input information indicating whether the interchangeable optical system attached is a known or unknown optical system, the processor performing an identification process of identifying a type of the interchangeable optical system based on the feature amount when the interchangeable optical system attached is determined to be a known optical system based on the input information.
