An image pickup apparatus includes an image sensor, an optical filter movable between a first position at which the optical filter is inserted into an imaging range of the image sensor and a second position at which the optical filter is retracted from the imaging range, and a control unit configured to perform exposure control for the image sensor in a case where the optical filter is located at the first position and an in-focus state cannot be obtained by moving a focus lens.

Image pickup apparatus including built-in optical filter, control method of image pickup apparatus, and storage medium

An image pickup apparatus includes an image sensor, an optical filter, a holding member configured to hold the optical filter, a driving unit configured to move the holding member, a grip portion configured to be gripped by a user, and a light blocking member configured to control blocking or opening of an image pickup range. The driving unit moves the optical filter between (i) a first position at which the optical filter is inserted into the image pickup range and (ii) a second position at which the optical filter is retracted from the image pickup range in a direction from the first position toward the grip portion. The optical filter is located on a side closer to the image sensor than the light blocking member.
