Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes an image pickup device that converts light from a subject to image data a drive section that drives the image pickup device, an auto-focus section that performs an auto-focus operation, and a focus control section that controls the auto-focus section to perform an auto-focus operation while controlling the drive section so that the image data is read from the image pickup device at a predetermined read out cycle suitable for displaying a through image, when the first determination section determines that the shutter button is pressed halfway, and that controls the auto-focus section to perform an auto-focus operation while controlling the drive section so that the image data is read from the image pickup device at a shorter read out cycle than the predetermined read out cycle, when the second determination section determines that the shutter button is fully pressed at once.
