Abstract

See full text

An image pickup apparatus which, when performing image-plane phase-difference AF, eliminate a noise difference in phase difference information obtained based on signals read from pupil-dividing pixels of an image pickup device, which are arranged in rows and columns in a two-dimensional form. A first image signal is read from one pixel of each pupil-dividing pixels, and a second image signal is read from the other pixel. The order in which they are read is alternately switched on a row-by-row basis. Each of the first and second image signals is subtracted from a third image signal, which is a sum of the first image signal and the second image signal, to obtain first and second separated image signals. The first image signal and the first separated image signal are added together, and the second image signal and the second separated image signal are added together in the column direction.
