Abstract:
[Object] To improve both trackability of a focus position and focusing accuracy with respect to a subject. [Solution] An image capturing device includes: an imaging element having a light receiving surface including detection pixels that receive light passed through different regions of an exit pupil of an imaging optical system, and detect a phase difference between two images obtained by splitting the exit pupil; a first detection unit configured to execute at least any of first focus detection based on a phase detection autofocus (AF) method and second focus detection based on a contrast detection AF method; a focusing control unit configured to drive at least one optical member included in the imaging optical system toward a focusing position detected by the focus detection; and a second detection unit configured to detect a change in a subject image. In a case where a state in which a change amount of the subject image is less than a threshold continues for a predetermined period of time or more after the first focus detection, the first detection unit executes the first focus detection or the second focus detection.

Claim (Index 3):
The image capturing device according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein, in a case where the first focus detection fails, the first detection unit sets, as the parameter relating to the predetermined period of time, a parameter different from a parameter used in a case where the first focus detection succeeds.
