Abstract
A detection apparatus detects whether there is flicker attributed to a light source. The apparatus obtains a plurality of captured images related to a subject by performing image capture continuously with use of an image sensor; determines whether a capturing field angle has changed due to an operation of an image stabilizing mechanism during the image capture for the plurality of captured images; and detects whether flicker of a predetermined level has occurred based on the plurality of captured images. In a case where the apparatus has determined that the capturing field angle has changed due to the operation of the image stabilizing mechanism during the image capture for the plurality of captured images, the apparatus restricts regions in the plurality of captured images used for detecting whether the flicker of the predetermined level has occurred.
