ABSTRACT:
A lens driving controller has a driving mechanism for driving a lens along an optical axis, a calculator for obtaining a lens driving amount to an in-focus position, and a detector for detecting a position of the lens. The controller drives the lens in an in-focus direction in accordance with a lens driving amount obtained by the calculator, drives the lens in an opposite direction when the lens reaches a first lens position where a remaining driving amount to the in-focus position is a predetermined value, obtains information on a second lens position when the lens actually starts to move in the opposite direction, obtains a lens movement amount from the first lens position and the second lens position and performs remaining driving to the in-focus position and stop control based on an obtained lens movement amount.
