Abstract
An apparatus includes a first brightness value acquisition unit configured to obtain a first absolute brightness value by converting a representative brightness value of an image obtained using an image pickup unit, into absolute brightness, a first determination unit configured to determine an output value based on an input-output characteristic of an output device, the output value corresponding to the first absolute brightness value obtained by the first brightness value acquisition unit, and a second determination unit configured to determine information about exposure corresponding to the output value.
