Abstract:
1. An image capture device comprising: an image capture element provided with color filters including a predetermined color filter array on pixels arranged in a matrix, the image capture element outputting a first color image with the same color array as the color array of the color filters, the image capture element including first and second pixel groups formed by pupil-dividing an object image passed through different first and second areas of an imaging lens, respectively, the image capture element including a third pixel group formed without pupil-dividing the object image, the image capture element outputting, from the first and second pixel groups, a first image and a second image with the same color array as the first color image or Bayer array, the image capture element outputting, from the third pixel group, a third image with the same color array as the first color image; a display unit that displays a color live-view image; a focusing confirmation image generation unit that generates a color focusing confirmation image based on the first image and the second image acquired from the image capture element; an image processing unit that generates a second color image for display to be displayed on the display unit based on the third image acquired from the image capture element; a display control unit that displays the color focusing confirmation image generated by the focusing confirmation image generation unit in a display area of the second color image for display generated by the image processing unit, and a phase difference detection unit that detects a phase difference between the first image and the second image output from the image capture element, wherein the display control unit uses the second color image for display generated by the image processing unit for a part in which the phase difference detected by the phase difference detection unit is smaller than a predetermined threshold in the focusing confirmation image generated by the focusing confirmation image generation unit.
