Abstract:
A focus control apparatus includes a controller configured to provide a focus control that holds an object distance on which an image capturing optical system is focused that includes a magnification varying lens and a focus lens, and a calculator configured to calculate a defocus amount by using information on lens sensitivity that represents a relationship between a unit moving amount of the magnification varying lens and a moving amount of an image plane in the image capturing optical system, and information on error amounts of stop positions of the magnification varying lens and that of the focus lens. The controller moves the focus lens in a moving range limited based on the defocus amount.

Claim (Index 23):
The focus control apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein the controller provides the focus control by using an image signal generated through an images sensor configured to photoelectrically convert an object image formed by the image capturing optical system.
