An imaging apparatus including a lens mount on which an interchangeable lens is mounted registers a position to which a focus adjustment position is moved when a specific operation is executed, determines a type of interchangeable lens mounted on the lens mount, and controls, when the specific operation is executed, switching the focus adjustment position to a position registered based on a determined type of mounted interchangeable lens regardless of the focus adjustment position before switching.

Provided are an imaging apparatus capable of ensuring favorable visibility of display in a finder from when power is applied, a finder display control method of the imaging apparatus, and a finder display control program of the imaging apparatus. A viewfinder (30), which superimposes a display of a finder LCD (36) on an optical image of a subject observed through an observation optical system (32), includes a variable ND filter (40) that adjusts the light amount of the optical image of the subject. While power of the digital camera is turned off, information about the time is acquired, and the target transmittance of the variable ND filter (40) is updated on the basis of the information about the transmittance determined for each time zone. In a case where the target transmittance is updated, the variable ND filter (40) is driven to change the transmittance of the variable ND filter (40) to the target transmittance.

A manual focusing assist method includes analyzing an image captured by a photographing apparatus and containing an object to obtain a focusing evaluation function associated with the object, calculating a peak value for the object according to the focusing evaluation function, obtaining a current focusing value, and providing a focusing prompt based on the peak value and the current focusing value.

A camera system includes a camera unit for capturing still or moving images of an object. The camera unit is adjustable in respect of at least one parameter relevant to the capture of the images based on a measurement signal. A measuring unit captures a distance between the object and the camera unit and includes a laser transceiver for emitting a laser signal and receiving a laser signal reflected by the object. An evaluation unit coupled to the laser transceiver provides the measurement signal. The measurement signal indicates the distance between the object and the camera unit. A lens system has at least two spaced apart lenses. The laser signal emitted by the laser transceiver passes through the lens system. At least one of the lenses is arranged in movable fashion such that the distance between the lenses is variably adjustable parallel to the laser signal transmission direction.
