Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image pickup apparatus performs focus control by a contrast detection method during a continuous shooting interval. After the image pickup apparatus controls the movement of the focus lens and captures an image for recording in the continuous shooting mode, the image pickup apparatus controls the movement of the focus lens before capturing the subsequent image for recording concurrently with performance of a development process of the captured image.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
