| 1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
a detecting device configured to detect a focusing state of a subject image output by an imaging device, and detects focusing
positions of an image optical system for each of a multiple of AF frames within an imaging screen;
a selecting device configured to select an AF frame from among the multiple of AF frames to obtain a focusing position of
the image optical system for imaging an image;
a determining device configured to determine whether or not the focusing positions corresponding to the multiple AF frames
are within a focusing range; and
an instructing device configured to instruct the determining device to display on the imaging screen at least one AF frame
determined to be within the focusing range,
wherein, in a case where the focusing positions are in a first focal length, a proportion of the focusing range with respect
to a focal depth range of a focusing position corresponding to the AF frame selected by the selecting device is set to be
larger than a case where the focusing positions are in a second focal length that is shorter than the first focal length.
