As shown in FIG. 8, this state is almost equivalent to the fact that the male 71 is closer to the in-focus position and the female 72, the tree 73 and the road 74 are farther from the in-focus position.
- the distance between the standard image 80A and the reference image 80B is a standard distance.
- This reference distance is equal to the distance between focused images among the images included in each of the reference image 80A and the reference image 80B.
- the distance between images of subjects farther than the subject in focus is shorter than the reference distance, and the distance between images of subjects close to the subject in focus is longer than the reference distance. Since the male 71 is closer to the focus position, the distance between the male images 71A and 71B is longer than the reference distance, and the female 72, the tree 73 and the road 74 are farther from the focus position. The distance is shorter than the reference distance.
- the female images 72A and 72B are moved inward, even if the focus target ranges 75A and 75B are defined at positions corresponding to the positions designated by the photographer in the standard image 80A and the reference image 80B.
- the ranges 75A and 75B do not correspond to the faces of the female images 72A and 72B, and the positions of the faces are shifted inside the focus target ranges 75A and 75B. For this reason, even if the focus lens 2 is moved based on the signals obtained from the focusing target ranges 75A and 75B, the image within the range designated by the cameraman does not come into focus.
- FIG. 9 The example shown in FIG. 9 is obtained when the focus lens 2 is positioned so that the woman 72 is in focus in FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, this state is almost equivalent to the fact that the female 72 is at the in-focus position, but the male 71 is closer to the in-focus position, and the tree 73 and the road 74 are further from the in-focus position. .
- the distance between the male images 71A and 71B is longer than the reference distance, and the tree 73 and the road 74 are far from the in-focus position.
- the distance between the images 73A and 73B and the distance between the road images 74A and 74B are both shorter than the reference distance.
- the female 72 is at the in-focus position, the distance between the female images 72A and 72B is substantially equal to the reference distance.
- these ranges 75A and 75B are the faces of the female images 72A and 72B.
- FIG. 11 The example shown in FIG. 11 is obtained in FIG. 4 when the focus lens 2 is positioned so that the subject at a distance between the woman 72 and the tree 73 is in focus. This state is almost equivalent to that the male 71 and the female 72 are closer to the focus position and the tree 73 and the road 74 are farther from the focus position as shown in FIG.
- the distance between the tree images 73A and 73B is shorter than the reference distance.
- the female 72 is closer to the in-focus position, the distance between the female images 72A and 72B is longer than the reference distance.
- the female images 72A and 72B are shifted outward, so that in the base image 80A and the reference image 80B, the focus target range 75A is located at a position corresponding to the position designated by the photographer.
- the ranges 75A and 75B do not correspond to the faces of the female images 72A and 72B, and the face position is shifted to the inside of the focus target ranges 75A and 75B. . For this reason, even if the focus lens 2 is moved based on the signals obtained from the focusing target ranges 75A and 75B, the image within the range designated by the cameraman does not come into focus.
- the focus lens 2 is obtained using a signal obtained from the range corresponding to the focus target range of the phase difference image sensor 43.
- the image within the in-focus target range is focused by moving, but if the subject represented by the image included in the in-focus target range is significantly out of the in-focus position, the in-focus target of the phase difference image sensor 43 Even if the focus lens 2 is moved using a signal obtained from a range corresponding to the range, the image within the focusing target range set by the cameraman is not focused.
- the signal obtained from the phase difference image sensor 43 at the center weight regardless of the set focus target range.

In this way, the focus lens 2 is moved. Thereafter, the focus lens 2 is moved using the optical path length difference AF sensor 55 so that the in-focus target range is in focus.
- FIG. 13 shows the relationship between the phase difference AF evaluation value and the position of the focus lens 2.
- the horizontal axis indicates the position of the focus lens 2, and the vertical axis indicates the phase difference AF evaluation value.
- the position of the focus lens 2 is determined from the relationship between the calculated phase difference AF evaluation value and the graph G0. If the phase difference AF evaluation value is 0, the position P0 of the focus lens 2 is substantially equal to the focus position at which the subject image is focused.

Close to the positional relationship.
- the cameraman Is substantially equivalent to the fact that the focus lens 2 is moved using a signal representing an image within the in-focus range designated by.
