An apparatus comprises a face position detection section (120) for detecting at least a position at which is present a person's face inside a frame using an image signal obtained from an image sensor (103) for photoelectrically converting an object image captured by a photographing optical system (101), a focus control section (114) for controlling the photographing optical system by referencing in-focus positions of the object image obtained inside focus detection areas for detecting focus states of the object image positioned in the frame, and a control section (112) for controlling the focus control section so as to reference at least one or the other of an in-focus position obtained in a first focus detection area in which is present a person's face and an in-focus position obtained in a second focus detection area in which is expected to be present a body of a person determining from the position of the face of the person. |
