<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a memory control in a focus detection process based on focus detection signals read from two image pickup elements. <P>SOLUTION: A first image pickup element 4 includes a plurality of image pickup pixels that are disposed two-dimensionally, and focus detection pixels are disposed between the plurality of image pickup pixels linearly in a first direction. A second image pickup element 5 includes a plurality of pixels that are disposed two-dimensionally, and focus detection pixels are disposed between the plurality of image pickup pixels linearly in a second direction. A body CPU 6a reads a signal from the first image pickup element 4 in the same direction as the first direction and stores it in a memory 6b, and reads a signal from the second image pickup element 5 in the same direction as the second direction and stores it in the memory 6b. The body CPU 6a detects a focus adjusting state of an imaging optical system 2 on the basis of a focus detection signal read from a focus detection pixel column of the first image pickup element 4 and the focus detection signal read from the focus detection pixels of the second image pickup element. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
