IMAGING APPARATUS, AND IMAGING APPARATUS CONTROL METHOD

摘要

The purpose of an imaging apparatus according to the present invention is to achieve both maintenance of focal point detection performance and prevention of image quality degradation by determining, when focal point detection by focal point detection pixels is performed, whether there is a distance measurement error for a high-frequency object with a high likelihood of distance measurement error as a result of deterioration of sampling characteristics. According to the present invention, a reliability evaluation means (121) evaluates the reliability of a result from a focal point detection means (107) on the basis of correlation between a result from a contrast computing means (121) and the result from the focal point detection means (107).
