Abstract: The imaging element has a first and a second phase difference pixel region each including the plurality of phase difference pixels, and an imaging pixel region between the first and the second phase difference pixel region in the first direction. The processor is configured to cause the imaging element to perform imaging at a frame cycle, execute first readout processing of reading out a signal from the first phase difference pixel region during a first frame period, and execute second readout processing of reading out a signal from the second phase difference pixel region during a second frame period subsequent to the first frame period. A first exposure time, during which the first phase difference pixel region is exposed, and a second exposure time, during which the second phase difference pixel region is exposed, are different from an exposure time of the imaging pixel region.

Abstract: Provided are an image processing device capable of performing compression processing on a video captured in each video capturing mode according to a first video capturing mode and a second video capturing mode with different capturing conditions. A possible range of a quantization parameter applied in a case where the video is compressed is made different in the first video capturing mode and the second video capturing mode with different capturing conditions. The quantization parameter is determined within a first range in a case of the first video capturing mode, and the quantization parameter is determined within a second range narrower than the first range in a case of the second video capturing mode. In particular, a second upper limit value of the second range is smaller than a first upper limit value of the first range, and a second lower limit value of the second range is larger than a first lower limit value of the first range.

Abstract: A phase difference AF processing unit (19) compares subject images between a region R1 and a region Rj (j=2 to m) in an AF area (53), and determines a phase difference detection pixel (52A, 52B) as a detection signal addition target with respect to a phase difference detection pixel (52A, 52B) in the region R1 among phase difference detection pixels (52A, 52B) in the region Rj. Further, the phase difference AF processing unit (19) adds up detection signals with respect to the phase difference detection pixels (52A, 52B) in the region R1 and the phase difference detection pixels (52A, 52B) which are addition targets, and generates a defocus amount (Df1) from a result of a correlation operation using detection signals after addition. A system control unit (11) drives a focus lens according to the defocus amount (Df1) to perform a focusing control.
