IMAGING DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME, AND PROGRAM

摘要

The present invention appropriately controls the focus. An imaging device is equipped with a control unit. The control unit sets a first mode or a second mode on the basis of predetermined conditions. The first mode carries out an auto-focus process by moving a focus lens on the basis of the contrast in an image generated by means of an imaging unit. The second mode carries out an auto-focus process by moving the focus lens on the basis of a matching processing result pertaining to a first image and a second image generated by means of the imaging unit while the focus lens was at a different position.
