A photographing apparatus including: an image pickup device to obtain a picked-up image, the image pickup device being provided with divided pixels for receiving light on respective optical paths from the object divided in left and right directions; a recording medium recording the picked-up image; a display displaying the picked-up image; and a processor comprising a focus judging section judging a state of focus of using a phase difference on an image pickup surface between image signals based on optical images respectively entering the divided pixels, the focus judging section judges whether or not the phase difference of each area of the picked-up image to be recorded immediately before photographing is equal to or has not increased in comparison with the phase difference of the recorded picked-up image in the same area, to determine a candidate area for an enlarged display.

A photographing apparatus includes: a reference contrast judging section acquiring, for each of parts of a first picked-up image obtained by an image pickup section performing image pickup at a first timing, a reference contrast; a recorded-image contrast judging section determining a contrast of each of parts of a second picked-up image obtained by the image pickup section performing image pickup for recording at a second timing later than the first timing; a focus judging section judging, for each of the parts, a state of focus of the second picked-up image by comparing the reference contrast and the contrast determined by the recorded-image contrast judging section; and a display control section displaying a judgment result together with the second picked-up image on a display section.

A focusing plate having a light entrance side and a light exit side includes a Fresnel lens disposed on one of the light entrance side and the light exit side to form a condensing surface, and a plurality of microlenses disposed on the other one of the light entrance side and the light exit side to form a diffusion surface. The relation between the arrangement period of microlens units arranged on the diffusion surface and the interval between annular sections of the Fresnel lens satisfies predetermined mathematical conditions.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of cameras, and in particular, to a lens control mechanism, which includes a first control body, a driving assembly, and driving teeth for meshing with a lens, wherein the driving teeth are movably arranged on the first control body, the driving assembly is fixedly arranged on the first control body, the driving assembly is drivingly connected to the driving teeth, and the first control body is provided with a mounting position for mounting the lens control mechanism such that the driving teeth mesh with the lens. In the present disclosure, through the structural design of the mechanism, camera or lens parameters such as follow focus and zoom of the lens can be automatically controlled. Compared with manual adjustment, the parameter adjustment of the lens is more accurate and convenient.

A microlens array includes a first lens, a second lens, and a third lens. The first lens and the second lens are adjacent to each other and are arranged neighboring in a first direction. The first lens and the third lens are adjacent to each other and are arranged neighboring in a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction. A gap between an apex of the first lens and an apex of the second lens is different to a gap between the apex of the first lens and an apex of the third lens.
