1. A liquid discharge apparatus comprising:
a substrate stage configured to move while holding a substrate;
a discharge unit including a nozzle for discharging a liquid;
a control unit configured to control the discharge unit to discharge the liquid from the discharge unit; and
a position acquisition unit configured to acquire a position of a movement target object at a predetermined timing while the substrate stage or the discharge unit is moved as the movement target object,
wherein the control unit controls a discharge timing for discharging the liquid from the discharge unit, based on an approximate expression relating to damping vibration of the movement target object obtained from a difference between the position of the movement target object acquired by the position acquisition unit at the predetermined timing and a target position of the movement target object at the predetermined timing.
