Abstract
A zoom magnification is calculated based on a focal length of a photographing lens obtained before zooming and the focal length of the photographing lens obtained after the zooming. Then, an object movement amount in an image pickup area of an image pickup element is calculated based on the zoom magnification and an object position obtained before the zooming. Thus, a change in the position of the cropping area is controlled.
