  • Patent number: 11290634
    Abstract: Provided are an imaging apparatus, an imaging method, and a program that can directly determine a sensor position at which an image with good image quality is obtained from obtained image information. The imaging apparatus moves an image sensor to a plurality of sensor positions in the optical axis direction of an imaging lens, and focuses a subject at each of the plurality of sensor positions. Image data of the subject focused at each of the plurality of sensor positions is acquired, and the image data is analyzed to calculate an image evaluation value at each of the plurality of sensor positions.
