Abstract
An imaging device according to the present technology includes a user operation detection unit that detects an operation of a user for focus control, a focus position movement detection unit that detects movement of a focus position based on the operation of the user detected by the user operation detection unit, a depth information detection unit that detects depth information in a focus control target area, and a focus control unit that sets a target focus position on the basis of the movement of the focus position and the depth information. Thus, a technology for executing focus control more in accordance with a user's intention is proposed.
