Summary:An optical disc apparatus comprises an overcurrent detector and when the overcurrent detector detects an overcurrent during a recording operation or a reproduction operation and during an operation for controlling a focus of an objective lens, a rotation speed of an optical disc is reduced and an actuator is controlled to cause the objective lens to be in a retracted state under the condition that a disc motor exerts brake force. The objective lens is in the retracted state until the rotation speed of the optical disc becomes equal to or smaller than a predetermined value and when the rotation speed of the optical disc is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value, the objective lens is released from the retracted state.
