Abstract:
1. An imaging device comprising: an imager including an imaging optical system that forms an image of an object, and an imaging element that converts an optical image formed by the imaging optical system into an image signal and outputs the image signal; a distance measurer that obtains first distance information of the object; an image display that displays an image of the image signal; an object recorder that previously registers and records an object to be shot; and a distance designator that designates a second distance at which the object is to be shot; wherein the imaging optical system performs a focusing operation for the second distance, designated by the distance designator, before the distance measurer obtains the first distance information, and the imager performs shooting exposure when the object which is previously recorded by the object recorder is located at the second distance, designated by the distance designator.
