A controller controls a timing of receiving the light of the image sensor, depending upon the optimal timing derived by the evaluation unit, and repeatedly synchronizes a term of two timings with the change cycle of the external light by shifting the term into the change cycle by a unit of predetermined phase difference.

Abstract: The operation characteristics of an image capture unit are changed on the basis of the captured image. If an object does not move, i.e., if the user does not input, the capture timing and the like are decreased to reduce the consumption power. The capturing condition is changed by, e.g., increasing a distance for capturing an image until an image can be captured, and even a plurality of users with different ways of use can use the apparatus without setting again the capturing conditions for the different ways of use.
