PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid the lowering of high-speed performance and accuracy in hybrid AF by decreasing useless detecting operation. SOLUTION: The imaging apparatus has: a first detection means 234 generating first information corresponding to the contrast state of a photographic video; a second detection means 230 detecting second information for obtaining a focused state, which is information different from the first information; and a control means 233 performing focus control using the first information and the second information. The control means controls the second detection means to perform detection operation in specified timing based on the generation timing of the first information. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
