Abstract: A left-eye imaging unit generates a left-eye image, and a right-eye imaging unit generates a right-eye image in synchronization with the left-eye image. A focus control unit performs focus control of the left-eye imaging unit such that a subject (a first subject) included in a specific area among subjects included in the left-eye image is in focus. The focus control unit performs focus control of the right-eye imaging unit such that a subject (a second subject) present at a different position from the first subject in an optical axis direction among subjects included in the right-eye image is in focus. In this case, each focus control is performed such that a range of a depth of field when the left-eye image is generated is continuous to a range of a depth of field when the right-eye image is generated with no overlap.
