Abstract: According to the present invention, the first and second phase difference pixels are arranged on the pixel lines in the first direction in the color image that is thinned during imaging of a moving image including that for live view display. Therefore, even during moving image taking, phase difference AF can be accurately performed. Furthermore, the pixel values at the pixel positions of the first and second phase difference pixels in the thinned color image can be accurately acquired on the basis of the pixel values of the surrounding pixels. Accordingly, reduction in the image quality of the taken image (still image or moving image) due to the phase difference pixels can be prevented or alleviated. Furthermore, the pixel values can be accurately acquired on the basis of the pixel values of the surrounding pixels during simultaneous processing.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus with a solid-state imaging device having phase difference detection pixels arranged on a light receiving surface acquires the size of a main subject image by identifying the main subject image picked on the light receiving surface of the solid-state imaging device, sets an AF region subjected to autofocus processing in accordance with an image size, and selects a phase difference AF mode (step S32) or a contrast AF mode (step S31) depending on whether the image size is larger than a required size (step S23) as a mode used for the autofocus processing.

Abstract: Interpolation precision of phase difference detection pixels is raised. An image sensor (14) is provided with a color filter (30) upon which a basic sequence pattern, formed by disposing a first sequence pattern and a second sequence pattern in point symmetry, is repeatedly disposed. In the first sequence pattern, first filters are disposed on pixels in the four corners and in the center of a square array of 3×3 pixels, second filters are disposed in a horizontal line in the center of a square array, and third filters are disposed in a vertical line in the center of a square array. In the second sequence pattern, the first sequence pattern and the positions of the first filters are the same, while the positions of the second filters and the positions of the third filters have been swapped.

Abstract: At a first point in time, the amount of opening of a diaphragm is controlled in such a manner that parallax is obtained in a plurality of images that are output as a result of imaging, whereby a parallax image is acquired. At a second point in time, the diaphragm is controlled in such a manner that the amount of opening thereof is made smaller than at the first point in time, whereby a planar image is acquired. Parallax information is calculated based upon the plurality of images acquired at the first point in time, and the planar image acquired at the second point in time is created. This stereoscopic imaging apparatus creates a stereoscopic image comprising parallax information and a planar image.
