    Abstract: A digital camera includes an imaging element having an imaging surface where pixels are arranged in two dimensions in a row direction X and in a column direction Y, an AF processing unit that determines whether a focus lens is in a focused state using detection signals obtained from respective pixels of a first pixel group including plural pixels arranged in the row direction X and a second pixel group including pixels arranged at the same distance in one direction that crosses the row direction X with respect to each of the plural pixels of the first pixel group, in a state where the focus lens is at an arbitrary position, and a system control unit that moves the focus lens until the AF processing unit determines that the focus lens is in the focused state.

    Abstract: An imaging element captures an optical image incident through an imaging lens. A finder device is configured to be capable of observing the optical image. An EVFLCD displays information to be observable in a state of being overlapped on or being close to the optical image, in the finder device. An EVF display controller controls the EVFLCD so that target color temperature information indicating a color temperature that is a target of color temperature adjustment and image color temperature information indicating a color temperature of the captured image are displayed as the information. A color temperature adjustment unit adjusts the color temperature of the captured image obtained by capturing the optical image using the imaging element based on a color temperature adjustment operation. In a case where the color temperature adjustment operation is performed, the image color temperature information is changed in accordance with an adjustment operation amount.

    Abstract: The imaging device of the present invention includes: an image sensor 14 that is configured such that a plurality of pixels having an organic layer (14-4) for photoelectric conversion is two-dimensionally arranged, and each pixel of the image sensor (14) is divided into a plurality of regions, and has an on-chip microlens (15), which forms a pupil image of a optical imaging system on the plurality of regions, and reading sections (16) which respectively read photoelectrically converted signals of the plurality of divided regions; an optical diaphragm that mechanically stops down rays which are incident into the image sensor 14; and an electronic diaphragm section that electronically controls an aperture value, and that selects signals of the divided regions corresponding to the aperture value from the signals of the plurality of divided regions, on the basis of the aperture value which is controlled by the optical diaphragm.

    Abstract: It is intended to provide an imaging apparatus and a focus control method that can prevent AF speed reduction even at the occurrence of a flicker. A system control unit 11 of a digital camera having a solid-state imaging device 5 that shoots a subject via an imaging lens 1 including a focus lens selectively performs one of a first focus control for controlling the focus lens so as to move it to a focus position by a phase difference AF method and a second focus control for controlling the focus lens so as to move it to a focus position by a contrast AF method. The system control unit 11 selects and performs the first focus control in a state that a flicker detection unit 12 has detected a flicker.

    Abstract: An image display device includes a beam splitter that splits an incident light entering from a subject side, an imaging device that converts a first optical image generated by an one-side incident light split by the beam splitter into an electrical signal and outputs the converted electrical signal as a capture image, a synthesis image generating unit that generates an electronic information image, a display panel that displays the electronic information image, and an optical prism that emits an optical image of the electronic information image projected from the display panel to be superimposed on a second optical image generated by the other-side split incident light.
