Abstract
An image pickup apparatus includes an optical system for forming an image of an object. An image pickup section effects the image pickup operation by causing a one-dimensional image pickup device to scan an image formed by the optical system. A light exposure detecting section detects light exposure based on a luminance signal output according to the scanning operation of the one-dimensional image pickup device at the light exposure detection time. A control section controls the image pickup section according to the light exposure detected by the light exposure detecting section at the time of image pickup operation.
