Abstract
An object is to improve accuracy of autofocus control. Accordingly, an imaging device according to the present technology includes an autofocus control unit that performs operation of autofocus according to a predetermined manipulation, and a diaphragm mechanism control unit that performs opening and closing control of a diaphragm mechanism according to an amplification factor of a distance measurement signal during the operation of autofocus. Thus, during the operation of autofocus, control different from control of the diaphragm mechanism based on an imaging setting is performed, and accuracy of the autofocus control is improved.
