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 12):
The imaging apparatus according to  claim 10 , further comprising:\n a remaining distance calculation unit that calculates a remaining distance between the distance to the main object calculated by the distance calculation unit and a distance to a position that is focused by the focus lens, wherein the display control unit displays the remaining distance calculated by the remaining distance calculation unit on the display screen in association with the main object.
