<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such a problem that for reflecting a calculation result in tracking in range-finding point selection, a range finding point to be selected cannot be determined, when it takes more time for a focus detection calculation than a tracking calculation. <P>SOLUTION: In an imaging apparatus having a plurality of range-finding points and a range-finding point selection function for selecting a range-finding point used for an automatic focus adjustment from the plurality of range-finding points, a focus detection part performs focus detection processing for each of the plurality of range-finding points and obtains the degree of reliability of the detection result and a tracking processing part performs tracking processing for tracking a subject in an image obtained by imaging and evaluates the degree of reliability of the tracking result. When the focus detection processing is not completed at the time point when the tracking processing is completed, but the degree of reliability of the tracking result is a first predetermined value or more, a camera control part interrupts the focus detection processing and selects the range-finding point based on the detection result of the focus detection processing at the interruption time point, the degree of reliability of the detection result, and the tracking result. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
