摘要
A focus detecting apparatus includes a first determining unit configured to determine an image stabilizing area based on object information, and a second determining unit configured to determine a focus detecting area based on the object information, and to determine a calculation area for focus detection based on the focus detecting area. The second determining unit determines the calculation area based on a relationship between the image stabilizing area and the focus detecting area.

One of the aspects of the disclosure relates to a focus detecting apparatus and an image pickup apparatus.
There has conventionally been known a focus detecting apparatus that detects an object and performs focus detection. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. (“JP”) 2015-22058 discloses a focus detecting method for setting a field length and a read position of an image signal for focus detection based on a position and size of a detected object. JP 2021-152600 discloses a method for avoiding a (perspective conflict) phenomenon in which the background is focused instead of an object in a case where a focus detecting area goes out of the object. JP 2018-36366 discloses an image stabilizing apparatus that performs control so as to always capture an object within an angle of view in a case where the object in the captured image is blurred (object blur).
In a case where different controls are performed for the object as an object image stabilization target disclosed in JP 2018-36366 and the object as a focus detection target disclosed in JPs 2015-22058 and 2021-152600, the object is likely to go out of the focus detecting area. This is because the object image stabilization negatively reflects a transfer of the object so as to prevent the imaging quality from being lowered, whereas the focus detection needs control that continues focusing by sensitively responding to the transfer of the object.
One of the aspects of the disclosure provides a focus detecting apparatus that can perform highly accurate focus detection while performing object image stabilization.
