Abstract: After AE/AF/AWB operation, a subject distance is calculated for each pixel, and a histogram which shows the distance distribution is created based thereon. The class with the highest frequency which is the peak at the side nearer than the focus distance is searched based on the histogram and a rectangular area Ln which includes pixels which have a subject distance within the searched range is set. The average parallax amount Pn which is included in the rectangular area Ln is calculated and it is confirmed whether Pn is within a range of parallax amounts a and a−t1. In a case where Pn is not within a range of parallax amounts a and a−t1 which is set in advance, the aperture value is adjusted such that Pn is within the range of the parallax amounts a and a−t1.

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 element with rolling shutter drive has pixels that each receive one or the other of a pair of light bundles passing through an aperture area for an imaging lens. The pixels are disposed on a first line arranged in the X direction, and the pixels are disposed on a second line in the X direction, alternating in the Y direction. A control unit uses a signal group from the pixels on a line in FIG. 2, a signal group from the pixels on a line, and a signal group from pixels on a line to control imaging lens focus on the basis of the phase difference information found from the amount of phase difference between the signal groups and the amount of phase difference between the signal groups.
