1. An imaging apparatus comprising:

  • a focus controller configured to control a focus position of an imaging optical system;

    an image sensor;

    an angle controller configured to change an angle formed between a plane orthogonal to an optical axis of the imaging optical system and an imaging plane of the image sensor;

    an evaluation value acquirer configured to acquire a contrast evaluation value in a first evaluation area of the image sensor during a focus control, and to acquire a contrast evaluation value in a second evaluation area different from the first evaluation area during an angle control; and

    an exposure controller configured to control an exposure condition of the image sensor,wherein the exposure controller determines a first exposure condition so as to provide a correct exposure value to the first evaluation area during the focus control, and determines a second exposure condition different from the first exposure so as to provide a correct exposure value to the second evaluation area during the angle control.
