Abstract

An imaging apparatus includes: an imager that performs imaging of a subject through an imaging optical system including a focus lens capable of changing a position of a principal point in a range between a first position and a second position in a direction of an optical axis; and an imaging controller that continuously performs plural imaging control operations for causing the imager to perform imaging of the subject through the imaging optical system in a state where the principal point of the focus lens is set at each of plural imaging positions which are set in a movement range as at least a partial range of the range, and the imaging controller makes distances between the plural imaging positions narrower and sets a larger number of the plural imaging positions in an imaging control operation performed later in time series among the plural imaging control operations.
