The image-pickup apparatus includes a focus detector generating focus detection information using light from an image-pickup optical system, a photometer generating photometry information using the light from the image-pickup optical system, a focus controller performing focus control, and an exposure controller performing exposure control. The photometer includes first and second photoelectric conversion part having different spectral sensitivity characteristics and formed to at least partially overlap each other in a light entrance direction from the image-pickup optical system. The photometer generates the photometry information based on the output from the first photoelectric conversion part. The focus controller performs the focus control using the focus detection information and focus correction information obtained based on the outputs from the first and second photoelectric conversion parts. The exposure controller performs the exposure control using the photometry information and exposure correction information obtained based on the outputs from the first and second photoelectric conversion part.
