Patent ID: 8866954

Claim:
A digital camera comprising: a taking lens for forming an image of a subject; a solid-state imaging device having an imaging surface on which three types of pixels are arranged, the three types of pixels being a plurality of normal pixels having sensitivity not dependent on an incident direction of light, a plurality of first phase difference pixels highly sensitive to light of a first incident direction, and a plurality of second phase difference pixels highly sensitive to light of a second incident direction opposite to the first incident direction, the each pixel having a color filter of one of at least three primary colors; a color dependence characteristic calculator for performing calculation of one of or both of output signals from the normal pixels and output signals from the first and the second phase difference pixels, on a color basis, to calculate a color dependence characteristic of the output signal, after a color image of the subject is captured; a color determination section for determining a specific color based on the color dependence characteristic; an autofocus detector for obtaining a focus adjustment amount of the taking lens based on the output signal from the pixel having the color filter of the specific color, out of the first and the second phase difference pixels; and a focus mechanism for setting the taking lens to an in-focus position in accordance with the focus adjustment amount.
