The focus control device includes a region setting unit 2010 that sets a plurality of regions each of which is composed of a plurality of pixels with respect to an image captured by the image capturing unit 200, and a part or all of the set regions. , A direction determination unit 2040 that determines whether the target focus position, which is the target of the focused object position with respect to the reference position, is in NEAR or FAR, and obtains a direction determination result for each region, Based on the result and the weight information, a focus control unit 2000 that performs weighting determination of the NEAR area information and the FAR area information to determine the in-focus direction, and controls the in-focus object position based on the in-focus direction. Including.フォーカス制御装置は、撮像部２００で撮像された画像に対して、各領域が複数の画素からなる複数の領域を設定する領域設定部２０１０と、設定された複数の領域の一部または全部の領域において、基準位置に対して合焦物体位置の目標である目標合焦位置がＮＥＡＲにあるかＦＡＲにあるかを判別し、各領域に対して方向判別結果を求める方向判別部２０４０と、方向判別結果及び重み情報に基づいて、ＮＥＡＲ面積情報とＦＡＲ面積情報との重みづけ大小判定を行って合焦方向を決定し、合焦方向に基づいて、合焦物体位置を制御するフォーカス制御部２０００を含む。
