A focus control device includes lens means including a focus lens, a focus lens driving mechanism that moves the focus lens to achieve an in-focus state, focus status detection means for detecting a focus status, drive control means for controlling the focus lens driving mechanism to achieve the in-focus state, change detection means for detecting that an evaluation value changes by a threshold value or more, and execution control means for waiting in a state in which the drive control means does not perform drive control for a waiting time starting from a time when the change detection means detects that the evaluation value changes by the predetermined threshold value or more and for causing the drive control means to perform the drive control when the state in which the evaluation value changes by the predetermined threshold value or more is maintained until the waiting time passes. |
