Evaluation values are extracted at first timings with respect to a
movement of a focus lens, and evaluation values are extracted at second
timings having higher frequency than the first timings on the basis of
the evaluation values extracted at the first timings. Then, even if the
evaluation values have been extracted at the second timings in such a
way, the focus lens is moved on the basis of the evaluation values
extracted at the first timings. Thereby, the fast and suitable movement
of AF can be implemented.
