Imaging apparatus, imaging method, and program

An imaging apparatus comprising:

• an image sensor;
• and
• a processor,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• acquire first distance data related to a distance between the imaging apparatus and a first object included in a moving image, which is shown by moving image data obtained by being imaged by the image sensor, and second distance data related to a distance between the imaging apparatus and a second object included in the moving image;
• control a focus position according to whether or not a first object position in a depth direction based on the first distance data and a second object position in the depth direction based on the second distance data are within a depth of field;
• and
• in a case where a state in which the second object position is out of the depth of field and a state in which a distance between the first object position and the second object position is shorter than a length of the depth of field continue for second default time or longer, perform control of setting the focus position to a position where the first object position and the second object position are within the depth of field.

• and
• in a case where the first object position and the second object position are within the depth of field, perform control of associating the focus position with the first object position on a condition in which a distance between the first object position and a default end of the depth of field is equal to or shorter than a default distance.
