Abstract:
1. An electronic apparatus with an imaging device, comprising: a photographing optical system that forms an object image, an image pick-up device that has a photo-receiving area and generates image-pixel signals from the object image formed on the photo-receiving area, the photo-receiving area being inclined relative to a direction perpendicular to an optical axis by a given angle; an extracting processor that detects an image of an object to be focused and defines a focus area on a basis of the detected image, the focus area including an image of an object to be photographed in the entire objective image formed on the photo receiving area; and extracts the focus area of the object image from the entire object image formed on the photo receiving area as focused-image data on the basis of the image-pixel signals; a recording processor that records the focused-image data in a memory; and a displaying processor that displays a focused-image on a display in accordance with the focused-image data.
