Focus adjustment device, imaging device and focus adjustment method
A focus adjustment device includes an image sensor that includes imaging pixels for capturing an image formed via an imaging optical system and focus detection pixels for detecting a focus adjustment state at the imaging optical system through a first pupil division-type image shift detection method, a focus detector that detects a focus adjustment state at the imaging optical system through a second pupil division-type image shift detection method different from the first pupil division-type image shift detection method, and a focus adjustment controller that executes focus adjustment for the imaging optical system based upon the focus adjustment states detected by the image sensor and the focus detector.
1. A focus adjustment device, comprising:
an image sensor that includes imaging pixels for capturing an image formed via an imaging optical system and focus detection pixels for detecting a first defocus amount at the imaging optical system by phase detection;
a focus detector that detects a second defocus amount at the imaging optical system by phase detection; and
a focus adjustment controller that executes focus adjustment for the imaging optical system based upon the first defocus amount detected by the image sensor and the second defocus amount detected by the focus detector, wherein:
a range over which the second defocus amount detected by the focus detector is judged to be in focus is wider than a range over which the first defocus amount detected by the image sensor is judged to be in focus.
