IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image capturing device capable of accurately maintaining focus on an object while in a continuous shooting mode even if moving speed of an image plane of an object gradually changes. ! SOLUTION: An image capturing device includes: an image capturing unit which captures an object image formed by an image capturing optical system and acquires image signals; a focus adjustment unit which adjusts focus of the object image formed by the image capturing optical system; a focus detection unit which detects an in-focus position using the image signals from a first area within a screen of the image capturing unit acquired while driving the focus adjustment unit; a determination unit which determines whether the object is moving or not based on the image signals from a plurality of second areas obtained by dividing the first area; and a prediction unit which predicts a focal position for next shooting from a focal position used in previous shooting when continuously capturing a p
