Abstract
An image pickup apparatus having a lens mount capable of easily mounting and dismounting an interchangeable lens to and from an image pickup apparatus body and capable of preventing the interchangeable lens mounted to the image pickup apparatus body from being rattled. In the lens mount, by rotating a movable mount portion about an optical axis from a state where bayonet pawls of the interchangeable lens and pawls of the movable mount portion do not overlap with one another as viewed in an optical axis direction, the movable mount portion moves toward a first fixed portion in the optical axis direction with the progress of engagement between a female screw portion of a stationary mount portion and a male screw portion of the movable mount portion, whereby the pawls and the bayonet pawls are brought in abutment with one another.
