1. An image pickup apparatus comprising:
a camera having an aperture configured to capture a subject and obtain a captured image of the subject;
a display configured to display the captured image;
a processor configured to extract the subject from the captured image displayed on the display and focus the subject that is extracted while tracking a movement of the subject; and
a memory interface configured to store the captured image on a memory,
wherein the processor is configured to:
when recognizing the subject to be tracked, control the aperture to close so that an aperture value of the aperture is a first aperture value as the aperture value when tracking the subject, and
when receiving a user operation for storing the captured image including the subject on the memory during tracking the subject, control the aperture to open so that the aperture value of the aperture is a second aperture value less than the first aperture value.
