    Abstract: The focus control device includes: a processor; and a memory. The processor is configured to: acquire an image signal output from an imaging element; set a focusing target region in an imaging region based on output information from an operating device that receives an operation by a user; determine a search region based on the focusing target region; detect an object region including a specific object from the search region; detect an overlapping region in which the focusing target region and the object region overlap each other; and perform focus control based on the image signal of the overlapping region.

    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imaging element and a second processor. The imaging element incorporates a memory which stores image data obtained by imaging at a first frame rate, and a first processor configured to output the image data at a second frame rate independent of the first frame rate. The image data is input into the second processor from the first processor. The first processor is configured to acquire positional information indicating a position of an image recognition region set as a processing target of image recognition processing in the image data. The second processor is configured to perform the image recognition processing on the image recognition region based on the positional information.

    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a first imaging element and a second imaging element. The second imaging element includes a storage portion that stores first image data output from the first imaging element, and a processing portion that processes second image data. A second image indicated by the second image data has a higher resolution than a first image indicated by the first image data. The second imaging element outputs the first image data stored in the storage portion to a specific output destination in a case where a specific subject image is not detected, and outputs the second image data or combined image data obtained by combining the first image data with the second image data using the processing portion to the output destination in a case where the specific subject image is detected.
