Original Abstract Submitted
A focus control device that is capable of preventing an object intended by a user from being excluded from a focusing target. The focus control device performs focus adjustment by using one of autofocus and manual focus. When focus control is switched from the autofocus to the manual focus, and then switched to the autofocus, whether to perform focus adjustment with settings of the autofocus set before being switched to the manual focus, or with settings of the autofocus to be set after being switched from the manual focus, is controlled according to whether or not there is an object focused by the manual focus.
