Abstract
The imaging device includes: an imaging section that includes a plurality of lens units having optical axes aligned in the same direction and one or more imaging elements, the lens units and the imaging elements being combined to form imaging units, the imaging units having different focus temperatures; an image processing unit that calculates a sharpness of an image acquired by each imaging unit; a selection unit that selects an imaging unit which acquires a use image on the basis of the sharpness; and a control unit that controls the imaging section, the image processing unit, and the selection unit.
