Abstract
An apparatus including a detecting unit configured to detect a subject from a captured image; a tracking unit configured to track the detected subject; a focus adjustment unit configured to control focus adjustment based on the captured image; and a determining unit configured to, in a case where the tracking unit is tracking a specific subject, determine if a tracking region in which the specific subject is being tracked is at an end portion of a captured image in a case in which focus adjustment is being performed in the tracking region and a focus adjustment mode in which focus adjustment is not performed when a subject is not being tracked has been set.
Claims23
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one process and a memory coupled to the at least one processor storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to function as:
- a detecting unit configured to detect a subject from a captured image;
- a tracking unit configured to track the detected subject;
- a focus adjusting unit configured to control focus adjustment based on the captured image;
- and
- a determining unit configured to determine whether or not a tracking region in which a predetermined subject is being tracked is at an end portion of a captured image when a focal adjustment mode is set, wherein the focal adjustment mode is a mode in which focus adjustment is performed in the tracking region when the predetermined subject is being tracked by the tracking unit, and focal adjustment is not performed when the predetermined subject is not being tracked,
- wherein the tracking unit releases a tracking state in a case in which the determining unit has determined that the tracking region is at an end portion of a captured image.

An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor and a memory coupled to the at least one processor storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to function as:
- a detecting unit configured to detect a subject from a captured image;
- a tracking unit configured to track the detected subject;
- a focus adjusting unit configured to control focus adjustment based on the captured image;
- a determining unit configured to determine whether or not a tracking region in which a predetermined subject is being tracked is at an end portion of a captured image when a focal adjustment mode is set, wherein the focal adjustment mode is a mode in which focus adjustment is performed in the tracking region when the predetermined subject is being tracked by the tracking unit, and focal adjustment is not performed when the predetermined subject is not being tracked,
- wherein the focus adjusting unit changes a focus adjustment operation in a case in which the determining unit has determined that the tracking region is at an end portion of a captured image.

A method for an apparatus comprising:
- detecting a subject from a captured image;
- tracking the subject that was detected during the detecting;
- controlling focus adjustment based on the captured image;
- determining whether or not a tracking region in which a predetermined subject is being tracked is at an end portion of a captured image when a first focal adjustment mode is set, wherein the first focal adjustment mode is a mode in which focus adjustment is performed in the tracking region when the predetermined subject is being tracked, and focal adjustment is not performed when the predetermined subject is not being tracked;
- and
- releasing a tracking state in a case in which it has been determined that the tracking region is at an end portion of a captured image.

A method for an apparatus comprising:
- detecting a subject from a captured image;
- tracking the subject that was detected during the detecting;
- controlling focus adjustment based on the captured image;
- determining whether or not a tracking region in which a predetermined subject is being tracked is at an end portion of a captured image when a first focal adjustment mode is set, wherein the first focal adjustment mode is a mode in which focus adjustment is performed in the tracking region when the predetermined subject is being tracked, and focal adjustment is not performed when the predetermined subject is not being tracked;
- and
- changing focal adjustment operations in a case in which it has been determined that the tracking region is at an end portion of a captured image.

A non-transitory storage medium storing a control program of an apparatus causing a computer to perform a method of the apparatus, the method comprising:
- detecting a subject from a captured image;
- tracking the subject that was detected during the detecting;
- controlling focus adjustment based on the captured image;
- determining whether or not a tracking region in which a predetermined subject is being tracked is at an end portion of a captured image when a first focal adjustment mode is set, wherein the first focal adjustment mode is a mode in which focus adjustment is performed in the tracking region when the predetermined subject is being tracked, and focal adjustment is not performed when the predetermined subject is not being tracked;
- and
- releasing a tracking state in a case in which it has been determined that the tracking region is at an end portion of a captured image.
