IMAGING APPARATUS AND ITS CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve a focus detection in which the time required for focusing is shortened even for a subject whose contract changes when focusing and when blurring.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus for performing a focus adjustment on the basis of an imaging signal obtained by scanning a focus lens along an optic axis of a photographic optical system includes: an imaging section for capturing a subject image and generating the imaging signal; an evaluation value generation section for generating contrast information which is the information of a contrast in the imaging signal, and a contrast evaluation value indicating an amount of a high frequency component in the imaging signal; a focus adjustment section for performing the focus adjustment on the basis of the contrast evaluation value obtained by scanning the focus lens; a determination section for determining a focus degree on the basis of the contrast information; and a control section for controlling the scanning of the focus lens on the basis of the determination by the determination section.
