An imaging apparatus, comprises: an imaging section (7, 101 and 102); a detector (104-1) which detects at least one target subject to be photographed from images continuously imaged by the imaging section (7, 101 and 102); and a controller (104) which sets to the detector a detection mode including a first detection mode, a second detection mode and a third detection mode, the first detection mode corresponding to a scene in which a frequency of photographing is relatively high and having relatively the fastest detection processing speed for detecting the at least one target photographic subject, the second detection mode corresponding to a scene in which the frequency of photographing is relatively low and having relatively the slowest detection processing speed for detecting the at least one target photographic subject, and the third detection mode corresponding to a scene in which the frequency of photographing is less than the first detection mode and having a detection processing speed for detecting the at least one target photographic subject slower than that of the first detection mode, and which controls the detector (104-1) to perform successively each of the first detection mode to the third detection mode in order of the first detection mode, the third detection mode and the second detection mode. |
