1. An imaging apparatus, comprising:
- an imaging section;
a detecting section to detect an image area of a subject from an image imaged by the imaging section;
an area setting section to set one or a plurality of evaluation areas to calculate focusing evaluation values in the image area of the subject detected by the detecting section;
a calculating section to calculate the focusing evaluation values with regard to the one or the plurality of evaluation areas set by the area setting section; and
a focusing section to be in focus based on a calculated result by the calculating section.

15. A focusing method, comprising the steps of:
-
detecting an image area of a subject from an image imaged by an imaging section of an imaging apparatus; setting one or a plurality of evaluation areas to calculate focusing evaluation values in the image area of the subject detected at the step of detecting; calculating the focusing evaluation values with regard to the one or the plurality of evaluation areas set at the step of setting; and performing focusing based on a calculated result at the step of calculating.

16. A computer-readable recording medium recording a program for enabling a computer equipped in an imaging apparatus to realize the functions as:
-
a detecting section to detect an image area of a subject from an imaged image; an area setting section to set one or a plurality of evaluation areas to calculate focusing evaluation values in the image area of the subject detected by the detecting section; a calculating section to calculate the focusing evaluation values with regard to the one or the plurality of evaluation areas set by the area setting section; and a focusing controlling section to be in focus based on a calculated result by the calculating section.
