Abstract:
In a focus control apparatus, an acquisition unit periodically acquires a pair of focus detection signals, a focus detection unit detects a focus state of a first area using a phase difference and, in a case where the focus state of the first area is not within a first range, detects a focus state using a phase difference in a second area arranged in a periphery of the first area, and a control unit controls to perform focus control. The focus control is performed based on the focus state of the second area if it is within a second range and, if a subject exists on a near side, focus control is performed based on the focus state of the first area regardless of the focus state of the second area being detected or not.

Claim (Index 15):
The focus control apparatus according to  claim 14 , wherein, in a case where no focus detection area in the third area satisfies the condition, the second setting unit sets the first area to a predetermined area.
