Abstract:
Provided are an imaging apparatus and an imaging method capable of relatively accurately focusing on a main object in a relatively short time. A movement region ( 40 ) of a main object OA is imaged in a camera apparatus A and a different camera apparatus B. In the camera apparatus A, the main object OA is recognized from a captured image. Data indicating the position of the main object OA, transmitted from the camera apparatus B, is received in the camera apparatus A, and a focusing target range is set at the front and back of the position of the main object OA. A movement of a focus lens of the camera apparatus A is limited so as to focus on the focusing target range.

Claim (Index 11):
The imaging apparatus according to  claim 10 ,\n wherein the position specification information acquired in the position specification information acquisition unit specifies the position of each of the main object and a sub-object in the real space, the imaging apparatus further comprises a sub-object recognition unit for recognizing a sub-object from the captured image obtained by the imaging unit, the distance calculation unit calculates a distance to the main object or a distance to the sub-object, and the display control unit displays the distance calculated by the distance calculation unit on the display screen in association with the main object or the sub-object corresponding to the distance.
