Abstract:
A digital camera includes an imaging element ( 5 ) having an imaging surface ( 50 ) where pixels ( 51 ) are arranged in two dimensions in a row direction X and in a column direction Y, an AF processing unit ( 19 ) that determines whether a focus lens is in a focused state using detection signals obtained from respective pixels ( 51 ) of a first pixel group including plural pixels ( 51 ) arranged in the row direction X and a second pixel group including pixels ( 51 ) arranged at the same distance in one direction that crosses the row direction X with respect to each of the plural pixels ( 51 ) of the first pixel group, in a state where the focus lens is at an arbitrary position, and a system control unit ( 11 ) that moves the focus lens until the AF processing unit ( 19 ) determines that the focus lens is in the focused state.

Claim (Index 5):
The imaging device according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the processor performs a correlation operation with respect to detection signal groups in a first pair of a third signal detection pixel group that includes the plurality of signal detection pixels arranged in the row direction in the first signal detection pixel group and a fourth signal detection pixel group that includes the signal detection pixels arranged at the same distance in one direction with respect to each of the signal detection pixels of the third signal detection pixel group in the second signal detection pixel group, performs a correlation operation with respect to detection signal groups in a second pair of a fifth signal detection pixel group that includes the plurality of signal detection pixels arranged at the same distance in one direction with respect to each of the signal detection pixels of the third signal detection pixel group in the first signal detection pixel group and a sixth signal detection pixel group that includes the signal detection pixels arranged at the same distance in one direction with respect to each of the signal detection pixels of the fifth signal detection pixel group in the second signal detection pixel group, and determines whether the focus lens is in the focused state by comparing a difference or a ratio between a first correlation value which is a minimum correlation value between the detection signal groups of the first pair, obtained from a result of the correlation operation with respect to the first pair, and a second correlation value which is a minimum correlation value between the detection signal groups of the second pair, obtained from a result of the correlation operation with respect to the second pair with the threshold value.
