To provide an imaging apparatus capable of displaying a detection frame of a predetermined object (human body etc.) together with an image.SOLUTION: The imaging apparatus includes an image sensor and a control unit. The control unit detects an area of a predetermined object from a captured image and executes a series of first human body detection processing (S11). The control unit executes a series of second human body detection processing different from the first detection processing from the captured image (S12). By using a first result obtained by the first human body detection processing, a second result obtained from the second human body detection processing, and a preset predetermined value, either one of the first result and the second result is adopted as the detection result of the predetermined object (S13-S15).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】画像における所定のオブジェクト（人体等）の検出枠が遅れて表示されることのない撮像装置を提供する。【解決手段】撮像装置は、画像センサと、制御部とを備える。制御部は、撮像画像から所定のオブジェクトの領域を検出し、第１の人体検出処理を実行するＳ１１。撮像画像から、第１の検出処理とは異なる、第２の人体検出処理を実行するＳ１２。第１の人体検出処理により得られた第１の結果と、第２の人体検出処理により得られた第２の結果と、予め設定された所定値とを用いて、第１の結果および第２の結果の何れか一方を、所定のオブジェクトの検出結果として採用するＳ１３〜Ｓ１５。【選択図】図８
