Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image pickup apparatus includes: an image pickup portion that obtains an image pickup image based on an object optical image obtained by an optical system that can vary a focus position; an object distance determination portion that determines an object distance of each portion in the image pickup image; a continuity determination portion that determines the continuity of the object distance and the image pickup image; and a display control portion that, in a depth synthesis mode that subjects a plurality of image pickup images that are obtained while varying a focus position of the optical system to depth synthesis, based on a determination result with respect to the continuity, causes a guide display for supporting the depth synthesis operation to be displayed on a display portion.
