Claims (5)

A plurality of imaging pixels and a plurality of focus detection pixels that receive a pair of light beams that have passed through different areas of the imaging optical system are arranged on a plane, and receive an image formed by the imaging optical system. An imaging and focus detection element for outputting an image signal;
A focus adjustment unit that performs focus adjustment of the imaging optical system based on focus detection signals output from the plurality of focus detection pixels by a phase difference detection method corresponding to the pair of light beams ;
The imaging by the row Ukoto by the imaging and focus detection device, a digital camera for acquiring the image signal and the focus detection signal,
Storage means for storing the focus detection signals output from said plurality of focus detection pixels at image shooting,
This shooting image and a determining means for determining whether the continuous shooting following the last IMAGING,
It said focusing means, when it is determined that the continuous shooting by the determination means reads out the focus detection signal of the previous IMAGING from said storage means, characterized by performing focus adjustment on the basis of the focus detection signal A digital camera. The digital camera according to claim 1, wherein
The determination means is a digital camera that measures the elapsed time from the previous IMAGING to the current IMAGING, the elapsed time and judging that the continuous shooting in the case of less than the predetermined time. The digital camera according to claim 1, wherein
The digital camera according to claim 1, wherein the determination unit determines that the continuous shooting mode is set when the continuous shooting mode is set. The digital camera according to claim 1, wherein
The determination unit detects a displacement amount of the camera, and determines that the continuous shooting is performed when the displacement amount is less than a predetermined amount. The digital camera according to any one of claims 1 to 4,
It said focusing means, when it is determined that the continuous shooting by the determination means reads out the focus detection signals during the past several times of an imaging from the storage means, performs focus adjustment on the basis of these focus detection signals A digital camera characterized by that.
