Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. An imaging apparatus comprising:
a depth-of-field adjustment function including an optical system control unit that adjusts a depth of field of at least one monocular optical system among a plurality of monocular optical systems having optical paths independent of one another, wherein
the optical system control unit is configured to adjust the depth of field of the monocular optical system by driving the monocular optical system on a basis of control information,
the optical system control unit is configured to adjust a depth of field of another monocular optical system among the plurality of monocular optical systems to a depth of field of a reference monocular optical system that is a monocular optical system among the plurality of monocular optical systems,
the optical system control unit is configured to adjust the depth of field of the another monocular optical system to the depth of field of the reference monocular optical system, the reference monocular optical system being a monocular optical system having a smallest depth of field among the plurality of monocular optical systems,
the optical system control unit is configured to adjust the depth of field of the another monocular optical system so that a range of the depth of field of the another monocular optical system includes a range of the depth of field of the reference monocular optical system, and
the optical system control unit is further configured to adjust the depth of field of the another monocular optical system so that a focal length of the another monocular optical system matches a focal length of the reference monocular optical system.
