    Abstract: A focus adjustment device includes a direction judgment unit and a control unit. A direction judgment unit calculates an evaluation value based on an image signal of a focus detection region, thereby judging a drive direction of a focus lens. The control unit controls a focus adjustment operation on the basis of the drive direction. The control unit causes the direction judgment unit to repeatedly judge the drive direction, and when the focus lens is slightly driven in a first direction judged on the basis of a first evaluation value and then the focus lens is slightly driven in a second direction judged on the basis of a subsequently calculated second evaluation value, the control unit forbids the slight driving of the focus lens in the first direction even though a drive direction judged on the basis of a further subsequently calculated third evaluation value is the first direction.

    Abstract: A focus adjustment device includes a focus detection region setting section, a direction determination section and control section. The focus detection region setting section sets focus detection regions which are different in size from one another. The direction determination section determines a movement direction of a focus lens to be in focus based on a change of the contrast caused by the movement of the focus lens. The control section repetitively determines whether determination results of the movement direction obtained in the respective focus detection regions are different. The control section inhibits a switchover of a focus adjustment operation when it is consecutively determined a predetermined number of times or more that the determination results of the movement direction are different, otherwise the control section does not inhibit the switchover.

    Abstract: An imaging device includes an image sensor and a controller. The controller sets a focus detection area and a motion detection area, determines an instability of a subject for a motion based on an imaging signal corresponding to an inside of the motion detection area, determines a degree of focusing based on the imaging signal corresponding to an inside of the focus detection area. The controller makes an operation parameter of a focus adjustment operation different, when the subject is determined to be unstable once and then determined to be stable. The controller determines the degree of focusing by a focus adjustment operation using minute driving. The operation parameter is an amplitude or an amount of a movement of the focus lens.

    Abstract: A direction judgment unit calculates a first evaluation value based on an image signal of a first focus detection region among focus detection regions to judge a drive direction of a focus lens to be in focus and calculates a second evaluation value based on an image signal of at least one second focus detection region smaller than the first region, the focus detection regions being at least partly the same and being different in size. A control unit determines whether a change of the second evaluation value is a monotonous change when the focus lens is slightly driven a first number of times in a first direction judged on the basis of the first evaluation value and the focus lens is slightly driven a second number of times smaller than the first number of times in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and the control unit performs focus adjustment on the basis of the second evaluation value when the change of the second evaluation value is not a monotonous change.
