Abstract
An image pickup device includes an optical system, an imaging element, an image processor, an input unit, and a controller. The optical system includes a focus lens. The imaging element generates an image signal from optical information that is input via the optical system. The image processor performs a predetermined process on the image signal generated by the imaging element, and then generates moving picture data including a plurality of frame images. The input unit receives input of a designated region on an image made by a user. The controller causes the image processor to generate the moving picture data while moving a focus position of the optical system, and then extracts a still picture that is in focus on the designated region from among the plurality of frame images included in the moving picture data.
