Imaging apparatus and focus control method

摘要

There is provided an imaging apparatus including a first focus detection unit that has a plurality of first focus detection areas in a photographed screen, and detects a first defocusing amount in the first focus detection areas, a second focus detection unit that has a plurality of second focus detection areas in a photographed screen, and detects a second defocusing amount in the second focus detection areas, a defocusing amount selection unit that selects which of the first defocusing amount detected by the first focus detection unit and the second defocusing amount detected by the second focus detection unit is used, and a focus control unit that performs focus control by moving a focus lens on the basis of the defocusing amount selected by the defocusing amount selection unit.

主权项

1. An imaging apparatus, comprising:
a first focus detection sensor that has a plurality of first focus detection areas in a photographed screen, and configured to detect a first defocusing amount in the plurality of first focus detection areas; a second focus detection sensor that has a plurality of second focus detection areas in the photographed screen, and configured to detect a second defocusing amount in the plurality of second focus detection areas; and one or more circuits configured to:
set a second defocusing amount that has been previously decided as the second defocusing amount based on a comparison of the previously decided second defocusing amount with a threshold value;select which of the first defocusing amount or the second defocusing amount is used; andcontrol focus by movement of a focus lens based on the selected defocusing amount.
