PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that half-depression of button is troublesome and is apt to be an operation of high difficulty level for a beginner though techniques have been disclosed which perform a focusing operation only in response to half-depression of a two-step button capable of being half depressed in order to suppress the power consumption which is made higher by always performing the focusing operation against movement of a subject. SOLUTION: This imaging device has an imaging device, a target signal acquisition part for acquiring a signal of a prescribed area on the imaging device, a time measuring par for measuring time, a determination part for determining whether an object stays in the prescribed area within a first measurement time or not, and a focusing operation part for performing the focusing operation to the object in the case of a determination result of the determination part, which indicates that the subject stays there. Thus it is automatically determined whether the object is moving or not to perform the focusing operation, without always performing the focusing operation. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
