An imaging apparatus includes an object information holding unit to hold a size of a predetermined object included in a subject; an imaging unit to convert incident light from the subject to a captured image; an object detecting unit to detect the object included in the captured image and a size of an object image; an object-autofocus-range calculating unit to calculate an object-autofocus-range that is a limited movement range of a focus lens; a use determination range calculating unit to calculate a use determination range that is a range to determine whether detection of an in-focus position of the detected object is to be performed in the object-autofocus-range and that includes the object-autofocus-range; and an autofocus control unit to detect the in-focus position by setting the object-autofocus-range and moving the focus lens in the object-autofocus-range if a current position of the focus lens is within the use determination range.
