Abstract
An imaging apparatus is an imaging apparatus in which a focus lens is moved while avoiding a period of main exposure by an image sensor and the main exposure is continuously performed to perform continuous imaging, and a processor calculates a first focus position of the focus lens with respect to a specific subject based on image data obtained by imaging the specific subject with the main exposure by the image sensor in a specific frame in which the main exposure is performed in a continuous imaging period, predicts a second focus position of the focus lens with respect to the specific subject in a frame ahead of the specific frame by a plurality of frames with reference to the first focus position in the continuous imaging period, and moves the focus lens toward the second focus position.
