Claim 4:
5. An imaging apparatus comprising:
a processor;
an imaging device;
a light source; and
a lens of which a focal position is changeable,
wherein the processor is configured to determine whether or not the imaging device has gone out of space of which at least part is surrounded by an object when the imaging device is performing imaging after the imaging device is inserted into the space,
the processor is configured to execute power-saving control when the processor determines that the imaging device has gone out of the space,
in the power-saving control, the processor is configured to make power consumption of a control target less than power consumption of the control target before the power-saving control is executed,
the control target is at least one of the imaging device and the light source,
the processor is configured to adjust the focal position by executing auto-focus control,
the processor is configured to determine whether or not the focal position meets a fourth condition,
the fourth condition represents that the focal position is continuously further than a first position in a fourth period and accuracy of the focal position is continuously low in the fourth period, and
the processor is configured to determine that the imaging device has gone out of the space when the focal position meets the fourth condition.
