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 6):
The imaging apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the focus unit sets, in a case where the main object is recognized by the main object recognition unit, an AF area including the recognized main object, sets a predetermined area as the AF area in a case where the main object is not recognized by the main object recognition unit, and drives the focus lens to focus on an object that is present in the set AF area.
