An imaging apparatus is disclosed. The imaging apparatus includes: a face detecting part configured to detect a face area from an input image in the imaging apparatus; a measurement frame setting part configured to set a measurement frame corresponding to a face area that includes a face area and a measurement frame corresponding to a body area that includes a body area based on the face area detected in the face detecting part; and a focus control part configured to apply each of the plurality of the measurement frames set by the measurement frame setting part to detect in-focus positions corresponding to the individual measurement frames based on a check of information about the detected in-focus positions corresponding to the individual measurement frames, and to decide a final in-focus position.
