Claims (7)

A plurality of first pixels that each receive light passing through the entire exit pupil of a photographing lens that includes a focus lens and forms an image of the subject to generate the image of the subject, and each of the exits of the photographing lens A plurality of second pixels that receive light passing through a partial region of the pupil and generate a pupil-divided pixel signal; and
And manual focus mode that allows manual focus, when both the split image display mode for displaying an image formed on the basis of signals from the plurality of second pixels is set, the plurality of second pixels based on the pupil division pixel signals generated from the generated two images as the split image, and feature extracting means for extracting respective features of said two images,
Based on respective characteristics of the two images before Symbol feature extraction means has extracted, an imaging apparatus characterized by having a split image region determining means for changing the display of the split image. Said feature extraction means and extracts the feature by integrating the contrast of each image in a direction perpendicular with the dividing line along the adjacent portions smell Te content secant of the two images are adjacent to each other The imaging device according to claim 1. The feature extraction unit, an imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein characterized in that along the minute secant correlating calculation evaluation value of each image. The split image region determining means, image pickup device according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that to enlarge the images in a direction in which the minute secant extends when enlarging the split image. Before SL split image region determination means, the display can a set time in either rata timer displaying the split images is the feature extraction means to produce has elapsed, the two images the characteristic extraction means has extracted The imaging device according to claim 1, wherein each of the features is captured. The imaging apparatus further includes an attitude detection unit that detects an attitude of the imaging apparatus,
Before SL split image region determining means, any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that for determining the area to be displayed as the split image based on the detection result and stored information of the posture detecting means The imaging device described in 1. The imaging apparatus further includes an operation means which is operated to change at least one of the position of the split image, the size及beauty min secant direction,
The split image region determination means one any of claims 1 to 6, wherein changing the area of the split image on the basis of the information the operating means is changed by said operating means to be operated The imaging device according to item.
