1. An endoscope system comprising:
an endoscope;
a light source unit including a plurality of light sources; and
one or more processors configured to:
cause the light source unit to emit a plurality of kinds of illumination light by independently controlling the plurality of light sources;
acquire an endoscope image obtained by imaging an observation target using the light source unit; and
discriminate a portion having a specific feature in the observation target by performing discrimination processing using the endoscope image,
wherein the one or more processors are further configured to start the discrimination processing in a case where illumination light from the light source unit is switched to specific illumination light, and end the discrimination processing in a case where the specific illumination light is switched to illumination light other than the specific illumination light.
