Focus detection device and image-capturing apparatus
A focus detection device includes: a plurality of first pixels having first color filters, via which a pair of first signals, to be used for split-pupil phase detection, are output; a plurality of second pixels having second color filters, via which a pair of second signals, to be used for the split-pupil phase detection, are output; a phase difference detection unit that detects a phase difference manifested by the first signals or a phase difference manifested by the second signals; and a defocus amount calculation unit that calculates a defocus amount by using a first conversion coefficient corresponding to the first color when the phase difference detection unit has detected the phase difference manifested by the first signals and by using a second conversion coefficient corresponding to the second color when the phase difference detection unit has detected the phase difference manifested by the second signals.
1. A focus detection device, comprising:
a plurality of first pixels having first filters of a first color, the first pixels outputting first signals obtained by performing photoelectric conversion of light having passed through the first filters;
a plurality of second pixels having second filters of a second color different from the first color, the second pixels outputting second signals obtained by performing photoelectric conversion of light having passed through the second filters; and
a microcomputer configured to:
store a first conversion coefficient corresponding to the first color and store a second conversion coefficient that is different from the first conversion coefficient and that corresponds to the second color; and
calculate a defocus amount (i) by using the first signals output from the plurality of first pixels with the first conversion coefficient or (ii) by using the second signals output from the plurality of second pixels with the second conversion coefficient.
