When it is determined that acceleration acting on an imaging apparatus is stable and an attitude direction determination result based on the acceleration continues as the same result, an attitude determination unit updates the attitude direction determination result to the latest one to be used for blur correction of a frame upon playback. On the other hand, when the acceleration acting on the imaging apparatus is not stable, when the attitude direction determination result based on the acceleration is different from the last result, or when attitude direction determination result does not continue predetermined times though it is the same result as the last determination result, the attitude determination unit does not update the attitude direction determination result to hold the past attitude direction determination result and use it for blur correction and the like of the frame upon playback.

Data processing apparatus, data processing method, and recording medium

An image capturing device includes an image capturing unit, a detection unit, an area setting unit, and a focusing unit. The image capturing unit captures an image. The detection unit detects a shape of an image area of an observed subject to be focused in the captured image. The area setting unit sets one or more contrast evaluation areas according to the shape of the detected image area. The focusing unit causes the image capturing unit to focus based on image data in the set contrast evaluation areas.
