An image pickup device having an auto-focus feature of adjusting a focus
lens to focus on a picked-up image of an object, a zoom feature of
changing a focus distance, and a telemacro-mode shooting feature of
obtaining generally-difficult close-range focus by fixing the focus
distance to a telescope end. The image pickup device switches between an
auto-focus mode and a manual mode. Likewise the device switches between a
telemacro mode and a normal mode. The zoom lens is driven to adjust the
focus distance and the focus lens is driven to adjust the shooting
distance. A controller drives the zoom lens drive unit to move the zoom
lens to a telescope end when the normal mode is switched to the telemacro
mode; and drives the focus lens drive unit to move the focus lens to an
object-closest end when in the telemacro mode.
