An image processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit for acquiring an image obtained by an image capturing apparatus including an image sensor for capturing a light beam from a subject through an optical lens, and a generation unit for generating first subject distance information indicating a distance from the image capturing apparatus to the subject based on information corresponding to an entrance pupil position of the optical lens used to capture the image, a focus position, and second subject distance information indicating a distance from the image sensor to the subject.

Image processing apparatus and control method therefor

An image pickup apparatus capable of suppressing occurrence of a delay in an exposure control when the exposure control is performed by selectively changing an exposure condition among a plurality of exposure conditions. In a transition period from when the exposure control for changing a first exposure condition according to a target exposure at a time of image pickup of the subject is started until the exposure reaches the target exposure, another exposure condition other than the first exposure condition is changed so that an exposure changing speed of the first exposure condition is compensated for. When the exposure is changeable based on a program diagram and when the first exposure condition is changed, control is provided so that a second exposure condition to be changed immediately after changing the first exposure condition is used to compensate for the exposure changing speed of the first exposure condition.
