Abstract:
An image pickup apparatus capable of performing intermittent photography while suppressing unnatural changes in degree of blur of an object. 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.

Claim (Index 2):
The image pickup apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein in a case where, when performing the second photographing, the selected photography mode is a second photography mode in which the aperture value as one of the exposure control values is fixed, the at least one processor changes the aperture value in the second photography mode according to the aperture value determined in the first photographing.
