Abstract:
An imaging device (1) comprises: an imaging element (24); a setting unit (102) that establishes a focal point detection area in an imaging area, and establishes a movement detection area at least a part of which is included in the focal point detection area; a determination unit (104) that determines the instability of a subject in terms of movement; and a focus adjustment unit (106) that moves a focus lens to adjust the focus on the basis of the degree of focus determined. The focus adjustment unit (106) stops a focus adjustment operation when the determination unit (104) determines that the subject is unstable, starts the focus adjustment operation after the subject is determined to be stable, and changes an operation parameter for the focus adjustment when restarting the focus adjustment operation due to the determination that the subject is stable after stopping the focus adjustment operation due to the determination that the subject is unstable.
