Abstract:
According to an aspect of the invention, an imaging apparatus includes a first control unit configured to control exposure parameters of an imaging element, and a second control unit configured to perform processing of switching between and outputting a first image corresponding to pixel portions of a number of first pixels and a second image corresponding to pixel portions of a number of second pixels smaller than the number of first pixels among pixel portions of the imaging element. The second control unit performs focusing determination on the basis of at least one of the first image and the second image.

Claim (Index 1):
A imaging apparatus that images an object through an imaging optical system, the imaging apparatus comprising:\n an imaging element which acquires image signals from light imaged by the imaging optical system; a first control unit configured to control exposure parameters of the imaging element; and a second control unit configured to perform processing of switching between and outputting a first image corresponding to pixel portions of a number of first pixels and a second image corresponding to pixel portions of a number of second pixels smaller than the number of first pixels among pixel portions of the imaging element, wherein the second control unit performs focusing determination on the basis of at least one of the first image and the second image, and the first control unit reduces an amount of changes in exposure parameters of continuously acquired first and second images by controlling exposure parameters for acquiring the first image and the second image.
