Provided is an imaging apparatus capable of performing AF with a high precision regardless of an object while realizing increase in AF speed. When there is an AF instruction, photographing is performed while a focus lens is moved. AF evaluated values are calculated at every position of the focus lens by a contrast AF processing unit 19. The contrast AF processing unit 19 calculates a sharpness in the vicinity of the maximal point of an evaluated value curve from three AF evaluated values, including the maximum value among calculated AF evaluated values and AF evaluated values calculated at positions in front and rear of a focus lens position corresponding to the maximum value, and position information of the focus lens corresponding thereto, and calculates a focusing position by a calculation method selected from among plural kinds of methods according to the sharpness. |
