To provide an imaging device with which it is possible to easily catch even a very small subject precisely at a center position.SOLUTION: An image device 1 for imaging a subject M by being pressed against the subject M comprises a camera body 10, a lens unit 20 provided in the camera body 10, a cover member 24 provided at the tip of the lens unit 20, and contact detection means for detecting contact between the cover member 24 and the subject M. In a first state where the cover member 24 is apart from the subject M, the focus of the camera body 10 is automatically adjusted so that the subject M apart is in focus； in a second state where the cover member 24 is determined by the contact detection means to be in contact with the subject M, the focus of the camera body 10 is automatically adjusted so that the subject M in contact with the cover member 24 is in focus.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3【課題】非常に小さい被写体であっても的確に中心位置に捉え易い撮像装置を提供する。【解決手段】被写体Ｍに押し当てて撮影する撮像装置１は、カメラ本体１０と、カメラ本体１０に設けられるレンズユニット２０と、レンズユニット２０の先端に設けられたカバー部材２４と、カバー部材２４と被写体Ｍとの接触を検知する接触検知手段と、を備え、カメラ本体１０のフォーカスが、カバー部材２４が被写体Ｍから離間した第１状態では離間した被写体Ｍに合うように自動調整され、接触検知手段によってカバー部材２４が被写体Ｍに接触したと判断された第２状態ではカバー部材２４に接触した被写体Ｍに合うように自動調整される。【選択図】図３
