Abstract

A lens control apparatus which corrects a variation in a focus position due to a zooming operation by driving a compensator lens at a standard speed according to a predetermined cam locus is arranged to determine a correction direction on the basis of an integral value of a high-frequency component and a correction speed on the basis of the ratio of the high-frequency component to a luminance difference, and to combine the correction speed based on the state of focus with the standard speed.
