    Abstract: According to the present invention, since a color image for a moving image including that for live view display includes image data on pixel lines including first and second phase difference pixels, phase difference AF can be accurately performed during the moving image taking. A color image for the moving image includes not only the image data on the pixel lines including the first and second phase difference pixels, but also image data on pixel lines that do not include the first and second phase difference pixels and only include normal pixels. Accordingly, the image quality of the color image for the moving image is improved, an image interpolation process can be accurately performed, and reduction in image quality of a taken image (still image and moving image) through the phase difference pixels can be prevented or alleviated.

    Abstract: When reliability of a defocus amount which is calculated using a signal from a region 50A is low, a digital camera expands the phase difference detection target region to the regions 50A, 50B, and 50C. Further, the digital camera calculates a defocus amount using a correlation operation result of an output signal group of pixel cells 31R in an odd numbered column and an output signal group of the pixel cells 31L in an odd numbered column and a correlation operation result of an output signal group of pixel cells 31R in an even numbered column and an output signal group of the pixel cells 31L in an even numbered column, in the regions 50A, 50B, and 50C.
