Abstract
An endoscope apparatus includes a processor including hardware. The processor implements a focus control process that is implemented by controlling the position of a focus lens included in an optical system that is included in an imaging device, and a mist detection process that detects whether or not mist has occurred. The processor implements the focus control process that stops a focus operation that is performed during the focus control process when the mist detection process has detected that mist has occurred.
