Patent ID: 7519285

Claim:
An imaging apparatus comprising: a detecting device configured to detect a focusing state of a subject image output by an imaging device, and detects focusing positions of an image optical system for each of a multiple of AF frames within an imaging screen; a selecting device configured to select an AF frame from among the multiple of AF frames to obtain a focusing position of the image optical system for imaging an image; a determining device configured to determine whether or not the focusing positions corresponding to the multiple AF frames are within a focusing range; and an instructing device configured to instruct the determining device to display on the imaging screen at least one AF frame determined to be within the focusing range, wherein, in a case where the focusing positions are in a first focal length, a proportion of the focusing range with respect to a focal depth range of a focusing position corresponding to the AF frame selected by the selecting device is set to be larger than a case where the focusing positions are in a second focal length that is shorter than the first focal length.
