Abstract
A focus detection apparatus comprising: a focus detection unit that detects an in-focus position using an image signal obtained by an image sensor photoelectrically converting light that has entered via an imaging optical system; a first acquisition unit that acquires aberration information of the imaging optical system; a generating unit that generates a recording image using the image signal; a calculation unit that calculates, on the basis of the aberration information, a correction value for correcting a difference between the in-focus position detected by the focus detection unit and a position to be focused on in the recording image; and a correction unit that corrects the in-focus position using the correction value. The calculation unit calculates the correction value on the basis of information of a display unit that displays an image based on the image signal.
