Abstract: An electronic device comprises an imaging unit configured to capture image and an operation unit configured to receive a first operation to adjust a shooting setting for capturing image and a second operation to capture image based on the shooting parameter and write data based on the captured image in a recording medium. The electronic device displays, on a screen, image review based on the captured image after capturing image in response to the second operation and then displays live view which is generated by continuously capturing image. A period of displaying the image review is shorter if the first operation is detected successively after finishing detecting the second operation than if the first operation is not detected successively after finishing detecting the second operation.

Abstract: This invention provides a lens device and a correction method therefor whereby the focal position of the lens device can be corrected with high accuracy even if a lens surface shape or the like is not uniform. A ring-shaped lens fixing frame 52 is mounted on the outer periphery of a lens 51. A gear 53 is formed on the lens fixing frame 52 in the circumferential direction. A gear 54, which engages with the gear 53, is rotated by a motor 20A. Then, the lens 51 rotates about the optical axis L thereof. Further, a rack 57, which extends in the direction of the optical axis L, is formed on a part of the lens fixing frame 52. A pinion 58 engages with the teeth 57A of the rack 57, and the pinion 58 is rotated by another motor 20B. Then, the rack 57 moves in the direction of the optical axis L, and thus the lens 51 moves in the direction of the optical axis L.
