A digital camera has distance measurement zone setting means (12) for dividing distance to a subject into a plurality of distance measurement zones; distance measurement zone selection means (13) for selecting a distance measurement zone to be scanned; an autofocus evaluation calculation circuit (14) for acquiring an AF evaluation value by scanning the selected distance measurement zone; zone-update determination means (15) for determining, through use of the AF evaluation value, whether or not to update a distance measurement zone to be scanned; and in-focus position decision means (16) for appropriately updating the scanned distance measurement zone based upon the determination as to whether to update the distance measurement zone, and deciding an in-focus position based upon acquisition of AF evaluation value. A focusing lens (2) is driven to the in-focus position by a focusing-lens drive circuit (17).
