Abstract:
A phase difference AF processing unit (19) calculates, through an operation using a detection signal group SA of phase difference detection pixels (52A) in an AF area (53), a detection signal group SB of phase difference detection pixels (52B), and a detection signal group SN of G pixels 51 in a row between a row including the phase difference detection pixels (52A) and a row including the phase difference detection pixels (52B), a third correlation value corresponding to a value obtained by adding up a first correlation value between the detection signal group SA and the detection signal group SN and a second correlation value between the detection signal group SB and the detection signal group SN, and generates a defocus amount Df1 from the third correlation value. A system control unit (11) drives a focus lens based on the defocus amount Df1.
