Abstract:
To detect a focus at high speed and with high accuracy in the contrast AF system. An imaging apparatus includes: a focus lens driving section; an imaging section; and a focus detecting section. The focus lens driving section moves a position of a focus lens from one of an image side and an object side to the other over a predetermined driving period. The imaging section generates image data by starting exposure for a plurality of lines simultaneously and then by ending the exposure for the plurality of lines simultaneously within the predetermined driving period. The focus detecting section detects an in-focus position of the focus lens on a basis of contrast of the image data.

Claim (Index 13):
A control method of an imaging apparatus, the control method comprising:\n a focus lens driving procedure that moves a position of a focus lens from one of an image side and an object side to the other over a predetermined driving period; an imaging procedure that generates image data by starting exposure for a plurality of lines simultaneously and then by ending the exposure for the plurality of lines simultaneously within the predetermined driving period; and a focus detecting procedure that detects an in-focus position of the focus lens on a basis of contrast of the image data.
