Abstract

See full text

A camera includes an image pickup device; a focus adjusting device which captures an object image at different positions while the focusing lens group is moved to detect an in-focus lens position, based on image signals of the object images, and the focusing lens group is moved to this in-focus lens position; and a face recognition device for recognizing a face image based on the image signals. When the face recognition device recognizes the face image, the focus adjusting device performs the focus search process toward the near extremity if the area size of the face image is smaller than a predetermined threshold value, and the focusing lens group moves toward the far extremity if the area size of the face image is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value.
