Claim 5:
6. An imaging device comprising:
an image sensor that exposes a subject image and repeatedly outputs image signals resulting from having subjected this subject image to photoelectric conversion at a fixed period;
a subject detection circuit, in which the image signals are input to a neural network circuit that has learned operation parameters for detecting a specified subject by deep learning, that detects the specified subject;
a subject detection and interpolation circuit that interpolates tracking position, based on feature amounts of the subject, for images that are acquired from the image signals;
a subject tracking circuit that tracks a subject that has been designated in advance, in images acquired from the image signals; and
a subject tracking position correction circuit that corrects tracking position using results of having subjected a subject to interpolative tracking using the subject detection and interpolation circuit.
