ABSTRACT:
In a still image shooting mode, when a user does not specify a position of an AF frame, an AF process is performed for an AF region of a comparatively large range whose center is in a center of a shooting frame. When the user taps on any position in an EVF area, a touch panel superimposed on a display detects its coordinates. An AF region smaller than the AF region when the user does not specify the position of the AF frame is arranged so that a center of the AF frame is on the coordinates. The AF process is carried out for the smaller AF region. When the user taps on the EVF area221twice at a short predetermined interval, a PDA returns the AF region to a state where the position of the AF frame261is not specified by the user.
