Abstract:
An apparatus includes a sensor outputting a first signal having a parallax, an image sensor outputting a second signal having a parallax, at least one processor, and a memory holding a program which makes the processor function as an acquisition unit configured to acquire an adjustment value. The acquisition unit selects a mode from a plurality of modes and acquires the adjustment value in the selected mode, the plurality of modes including a first mode for acquiring the adjustment value based on the result of the focus detection which is based on the first signal and a second mode for acquiring the adjustment value by a method different from a method in the first mode based on the result of the focus detection based on the first signal and a result of the focus detection which is based on the second signal.

Claim (Index 13):
An apparatus comprising:\n a sensor including a photoelectric conversion unit configured to receive a plurality of light beams having passed through different pupil regions in an image-forming optical system, the sensor outputting a first signal having a parallax; an image sensor including a photoelectric conversion unit configured to receive a plurality of light beams having passed through different pupil regions in the image-forming optical system, the image sensor outputting an image pickup signal and a second signal having a parallax; at least one processor; and a memory holding a program which makes the processor function as: a first focus detection unit configured to perform first focus detection by a phase difference method based on the first signal; a second focus detection unit configured to perform second focus detection by the phase difference method based on the second signal; an acquisition unit configured to acquire an adjustment value; and a control unit configured to control a focal position of the image-forming optical system based on the adjustment value and a result of the first focus detection, wherein the acquisition unit includes a plurality of adjustment value acquisition modes including: a first adjustment value acquisition mode for acquiring the adjustment value based on the result of the first focus detection and a first reference position, the first reference position being a focal position when an acquisition start instruction to start acquisition of the adjustment value is received; and a second adjustment value acquisition mode for acquiring the adjustment value by a method different from a method in the first adjustment value acquisition mode based on the result of the first focus detection and a result of the second focus detection.
