Claim Text:
1. An imaging apparatus that is mountable to a lens unit provided with an imaging optical system including a focus lens, the imaging apparatus comprising: an imaging sensor configured to generate an imaging signal by photo-electrically converting an object image; a camera signal processing unit configured to generate an evaluation signal for focus adjustment using the imaging signal; and a camera control unit configured to generate drive information about a focus lens based on the evaluation signal and to transmit the drive information to the mounted lens unit, wherein, when micro vibration of the focus lens is performed, the camera control unit is configured to transmit to the lens unit first information about a position of the focus lens to serve as a reference position for the micro vibration and second information about an amount of movement of the focus lens indicated as a shift amount on an image plane with reference to the position of the focus lens corresponding to the first information as the drive information, wherein the second information indicates amplitude of the micro vibration on the image plane and a shift amount of the reference position on the image plane from the position of the focus lens corresponding to the first information.
