Abstract
An aspect of the present invention is an imaging method using a multifocal lens having a plurality of regions, the plurality of regions having different focal lengths, and the imaging method includes a focusing state control step of controlling a focusing state of the multifocal lens, and an imaging step of obtaining an image of a subject in the controlled focusing state. In the focusing state control step, the focusing state is controlled so that a main subject is focused via a region with a shortest required focusing time among the plurality of regions in response to a picture taking instruction.
Claims18
An imaging method using a multifocal lens having a plurality of regions, the plurality of regions having different focal lengths, the method comprising:
- a focusing state control step of controlling a focusing state of the multifocal lens;
- and
- an imaging step of obtaining an image of a subject in the controlled focusing state,
- wherein in the focusing state control step, the focusing state is controlled so that a main subject is focused via a region with a shortest required focusing time among the plurality of regions in response to a picture taking instruction.
An imaging method using a multifocal lens having a plurality of regions, the plurality of regions having different focal lengths, the method comprising:
- a focusing state control step of controlling a focusing state of the multifocal lens;
- and
- an imaging step of obtaining an image of a subject in the controlled focusing state, wherein in response to a picture taking instruction,
- in the focusing state control step, control is performed so that a main subject is focused via a region with a shortest required focusing time among the plurality of regions, and the image of the subject is obtained in the imaging step, and subsequently
- in the focusing state control step, control is performed so that the main subject is focused via a main region having a largest area among the plurality of regions, and the image of the subject is obtained in the imaging step.
An imaging method using a multifocal lens having a plurality of regions, the plurality of regions having different focal lengths, the method comprising:
- a focusing state control step of controlling a focusing state of the multifocal lens;
- and
- an imaging step of obtaining an image of a subject in the controlled focusing state, wherein
- in response to a picture-taking instruction, at least one of the following is continuously performed to obtain a moving image of the subject:
- performing control so that a main subject is focused via a region with a shortest required focusing time among the plurality of regions in the focusing state control step and obtaining an image of the subject in the imaging step;
- and
- performing control so that the main subject is focused via a main region having a largest area among the plurality of regions in the focusing state control step and obtaining the image of the subject in the imaging step.
An imaging method using a multifocal lens having a plurality of regions, the plurality of regions having different focal lengths, the method comprising:
- a focusing state control step of controlling a focusing state of the multifocal lens;
- an imaging step of obtaining an image of a subject in the controlled focusing state;
- and
- a step of recording the obtained image and imaging time information indicating a time from a picture-taking instruction to image obtainment in association with each other, wherein
- in the focusing state control step, the focusing state is controlled so that a main subject is focused via any of the plurality of regions in response to a picture-taking instruction.
