The invention provides an imaging device, an imaging control method, and an imaging control program capable of reducing the burden of a manual focusing operation. The image pickup apparatus includes an image pickup optical system, an image pickup element, and a processor that, in a first focus mode, outputs moving image data captured by the image pickup element to a display terminal via the image pickup optical system, and detects a focus region in an image represented by the moving image data from the moving image data. When the focus operation is performed, the end of the focus operation is detected on the basis of the time related to the focus operation, and when the end of the focus operation is detected, the subject present in the focus area is set as the tracking target, and the tracking processing and the auto-focus control are continued. When the focus operation is performed again after the start of the tracking process and the auto-focus control, the tracking process and the auto-focus control are en
