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 15):
The imaging apparatus according to  claim 14 ,\n wherein the position specification information acquisition unit acquires a plurality of pieces of position specification information, the imaging apparatus further comprises a reliability calculation unit that calculates a reliability of the recognition of the main object performed by the recognition control unit on the basis of a plurality of positions, in the real space, of the main object specified by the plurality of pieces of position specification information and positions calculated by the position calculation unit, and the focus unit drives the focus lens while limiting the movement thereof in a case where the reliability calculated by the reliability calculation unit is equal to or greater than a threshold value.
