Abstract

A lens controller of a camera device includes: a driving amount calculator that samples, for each first time period, a lens position signal indicating a lens position detected by a lens position detector and a target position signal indicating a target position of a focus lens on an optical axis transmitted from a control unit and calculates a driving amount output of the focus lens based on the sampled lens position signal and target position signal; an up-sampling unit that performs up-sampling on the driving amount output obtained by the driving amount calculator at a second time period which is a period obtained by dividing the first time period by an integer; and a resonance suppression calculator that performs calculation on a result obtained by sampling the driving amount output at the second time period to suppress a higher-order resonant frequency component in a specified resonant frequency band.
