Abstract
The present disclosure includes an imaging control apparatus, an imaging control method, and an imaging apparatus. The imaging control apparatus includes a focal point detection control circuitry configured to receive first information from a range-finding area of a dedicated phase difference detection sensor and second information from a range-finding area of an image plane phase difference detection sensor, and detect a focal point based on at least one of the first information or the second information.
Claims20
An imaging control apparatus comprising:
- a focal point detection control circuitry configured to
- receive first information from a range-finding area of a dedicated phase difference detection sensor and second information from a range-finding area of an image plane phase difference detection sensor,
- detect a focal point based on at least one of the first information or the second information, and
- determine whether synchronous processing is to be carried out, in accordance with whether the range-finding area of the dedicated phase difference detection sensor is present in an imaging range.
