Abstract
A control apparatus includes a memory storing instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions to acquire, based on image data output from an image sensor, a first image plane position of an object and detection reliability, predict a second image plane position of the object based on a history of a defocus amount acquired by a focus detecting unit, and set a driving amount of a focus lens for focusing on the object based on the first image plane position in a case where the processor determines that a difference between the first image plane position and the second image plane position is larger than a first threshold.
