  • Patent number: 11237458
    Abstract: There is provided a focus adjustment apparatus. A first obtainment unit obtains a focus degree in a predetermined region of a shooting range. A driving unit drives a focus lens in response to an operation unit being operated. A movement amount of the focus lens per unit of an operation amount of the operation unit during the driving is lower in a case where the focus degree is greater than a focus threshold than in a case where the focus degree is lower than the focus threshold. The focus threshold is higher in a case where the focus lens is moving in a direction that increases the focus degree than in a case where the focus lens is moving in a direction that reduces the focus degree.

  • Patent number: 8629931
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus, when an image captured by an imaging unit thereof is not displayed on a display unit, can facilitate framing of an object to be imaged. An aspect ratio setting unit sets an aspect ratio imaged by an image sensor. A system control circuit controls, in a first mode, the display unit to display image data captured by an image sensor in the aspect ratio, and in a second mode, not to display the image data. The system control circuit also displays, in the second mode, information from which at least one of a focus detectable position and a metering area within a shooting area in the aspect ratio is identifiable.
