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 4):
The imaging apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein in a case where the main object is imaged by a second position detection imaging apparatus, second distance data indicating a distance from the second position detection imaging apparatus to the main object and second angle data indicating an angle formed by the second position detection imaging apparatus and the main object are transmitted by the second position detection imaging apparatus, the first reception unit receives the first distance data and the first angle data transmitted by the first position detection imaging apparatus and the second distance data and the second angle data transmitted by the second position detection imaging apparatus, and the first calculation unit calculates the position specification information for specifying the position of the main object on the basis of at least one of a set of the first distance data and the first angle data received by the first reception unit or a set of the second distance data and the second angle data received by the first reception unit.
