Abstract
An image sensing apparatus which senses the optical image of an object using a lens unit having a movable lens can reduce the influence of noise generated upon driving the lens from the first sound signal, based on the first sound signal obtained by the first microphone unit for collecting an object sound, and a second sound signal obtained by the second microphone unit for collecting noise. The second microphone unit is arranged at a position where the relative positional relationship with the generation source of noise generated upon driving the lens does not change even if the lens is moved.
