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 19):
The imaging apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a stop control unit that controls a stop into such a stop value that the main object that is present at the position specified by the position specification information acquisition means is included in an object depth of field of the imaging means; and wherein the imaging control unit focuses the main object image of the main object recognized by the main object recognition unit on the light receiving surface using the focus lens driven by the focus unit and the stop value controlled by the stop control unit to cause the imaging unit to perform imaging of the main object.
