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 14):
The imaging apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a position calculation unit that calculates the position, in the real space, of the main object recognized by the main object recognition unit; a mismatch determination unit that determines whether there is mismatching between the position calculated by the position calculation unit and the position, in the real space, of the main object specified by the position specification information acquired by the position specification information acquisition unit; and a recognition control unit that performs the recognition of the main object in the main object recognition unit again in a case where it is determined by the mismatch determination unit that there is the mismatching.
