Abstract
An image reading apparatus is obtained which allows reading of an image in a short time and further allows setting of a focused state which is effective for warping caused in a main scan direction of an original to be read. Respective focusing positions in regions located in vicinities of both ends, in the main scan direction, of a main subject region in a film image on a photographic film, and in a region including the center of the film in the main scan direction are each detected as a virtual focusing position, and based on the detected virtual focusing positions, a final focusing position is determined.
