An imaging device includes an object detection unit configured to detect an object from an image acquired from an imaging unit and a control unit configured to control an automated imaging process of the imaging unit on the basis of a result of detecting the object. The control unit has a first automated imaging mode in which the automated imaging process is performed using a focal length in a range of a prescribed value or more and a second automated imaging mode in which the automated imaging process is performed by limiting the focal length to less than the prescribed value.
