The image pickup apparatus obtains a plurality of images by causing an image pickup section to intermittently photograph an object at predetermined time intervals. One of photography modes is selected according to the object, exposure control values to be used in photographing by the image pickup section are determined based on the selected photography mode, and exposure control is performed according to the determined exposure control values. When the selected photography mode in first photographing is a first photography mode in which an aperture value as one of the exposure control values is variable, the other exposure control values in second photographing performed after the first photographing are determined by using the aperture value determined in the first photographing.
