An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging unit that is constructed to output an electrical image signal by photoelectrically converting a subject imaged by a photographing optical system including a focus lens, and has a plurality of pixels two-dimensionally arranged; a controlling unit that independently controls at least one from a reading rate and an exposure condition for each different area of the imaging unit; and an arithmetic operation unit that calculates a plurality of focus evaluation values based on an image signal read from a pixel located in one focus detection area among the different areas while moving the focus lens and then finds an in-focus location of the focus lens based on the focus evaluation values. The controlling unit takes a first image signal, read from a first area among the different areas, as an image displaying signal to be output on a display unit. |
