Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes a controller configured to perform focus control by adding a set value to a result of focus detection by automatic focusing based on a phase difference detection method. In a shooting mode, in a case where an AF frame to be used in the focus control is different from an AF frame to which the set value is set, the controller notifies a user of this fact.
