An image pickup apparatus capable of efficiently retrieving a subject generating a specific sound from an image is provided. The image pickup apparatus includes an image pickup circuit, a CPU, and a memory that stores a program that, when executed by the CPU, causes the image pickup apparatus to function as: detecting a specific sound from a sound acquired by a sound acquisition unit during moving image capturing, judging a direction in which the specific sound comes toward the image pickup apparatus and acquiring information about a sound direction indicating the direction of the specific sound judged, judging a direction in which the image pickup apparatus is facing and acquiring information about an image capturing direction indicating the direction of the image pickup apparatus judged, and performing control to store attribute information, a moving image acquired by the image pickup circuit, and the sound in a storage unit.

An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor, a power supply circuit, and a power storage device. A charging unit charges the power storage device using power from the power supply circuit. A control unit performs control such that in a first operation state of the image capturing apparatus, power is supplied from the power supply circuit to the image sensor without power being supplied from the power storage device to the image sensor. The control unit further performs control such that in a second operation state of the image capturing apparatus in which a maximum power consumption of the image sensor is higher than in the first operation state, power is supplied from the power supply circuit and the power storage device to the image sensor.

Image capturing apparatus, control method, and storage medium

An image pickup apparatus and a lens device which are capable of preventing an unnatural image from being photographed when both of an image pickup apparatus body and an interchangeable lens are each equipped with an image blur correction function. A system controller of a camera body sets an image blur correction mode of an image processor of the camera body. When a lens device including a lens driving section which optically performs image blur correction by driving a lens is attached to the camera body, the system controller changes the image blur correction mode of the image processor according to an image blur correction mode of the lens device.
