Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive section driven to rotate, a light emission unit configured to emit light to form electrostatic latent images on the photosensitive section, a process section configured to form images on the photosensitive section, a detection unit configured to detect an output generated via the process section when an electrostatic latent image for correction passes through a position facing the process section, and a control unit configured to execute a correction of a position of an electrostatic latent image in image formation based on a detection result from the detection unit.
