Abstract:
Herein disclosed is an imaging device having an imaging optical system, the device including: an imaging element configured to include a plurality of first pixels and a plurality of second pixels arranged along a predetermined direction; a first processor configured to execute focal detection processing by a phase difference detection system based on charge signals obtained from the plurality of second pixels; and a second processor configured to execute specific processing based on charge signals obtained from the plurality of first pixels, the specific processing being different from the focal detection processing by a phase difference detection system and being necessary for a function of the imaging device.

Claim (Index 1):
An imaging device, comprises:\n an imager configured to:\n generate an image signal of a subject; \n detect a contrast focus based on a first part of the image signal read from a first pixel of the imager; \n detect a phase difference focus based on a second part of the image signal read from a second pixel of the imager; and \n determine a focus position of a focus lens of the imager based on the contrast focus and the phase difference focus; and \n at least one processor configured to drive the focus lens to a first focal position that corresponds to a first focus evaluation value of a plurality of focus evaluation values, wherein the focus lens is driven based on determination that a first ratio of the first focus evaluation value to a second focus evaluation value prior to the first focus evaluation value is within a range of values.
