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 9):
The imaging apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n an AF command input unit that inputs an AF command; and a main object determination unit that determines an object included in an AF area defined in the captured image obtained by the imaging unit as the main object as the AF command is input through the AF command input unit, wherein the position specification information acquisition unit acquires the position specification information for specifying the position of the main object determined by the main object determination unit in the real space.
