ABSTRACT:
In a multi-focus camera apparatus that photographs the same region with cameras having different focal lengths, detection means for detecting a specified target in images obtained by the cameras, region acquisition means for obtaining in the images regions comprising pixels having substantially the same relationships between blurriness degrees as relationships between blurriness degrees of the specified target having been detected in the respective images, and image processing means for carrying out image processing to display the obtained regions differently from other regions are included.
