ABSTRACT:
An imaging apparatus capable of performing phase difference detection while allowing light to enter an imaging device is provided.An imaging unit (1) includes an imaging device (10) configured to perform photoelectric conversion on received light and allow light to pass therethrough and a phase difference detection section (20) configured to perform phase difference detection on received light which has passed through the imaging device (10). The imaging device (10) includes a color-purpose light receiving section (11b,11b, . . . ) including color filters (15r,15g,15b) and configured to obtain color information and an brightness-purpose light receiving section (11b,11b, . . . ) configured to obtain brightness information and receive a larger amount of light than the color-purpose light receiving section (11b,11b, . . . ). The phase difference detection section (20) performs phase difference detection on received light which has passed through at least the brightness-purpose light receiving section (11b,11b, . . . ).
