1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
an image sensor that captures a subject image via an optical system including a focus lens, to generate image data;
a display that displays a moving image indicated by the image data;
a user interface allowing to input user operation; and
a controller that controls focusing operation using the focus lens, based on the user operation input to the user interface, wherein
the controller
controls the display to display operation information together with the moving image, the operation information indicating a setting value related to a speed at which the focusing operation is executed, and
responds to first operation via the user interface to adjust the setting value indicated by the operation information, and responds to second operation via the user interface to execute the focusing operation in accordance with the setting value indicated by the displayed operation information together with the moving image,
wherein
the controller controls the display to display a progress state during execution of the focusing operation, after the second operation is input, the progress state indicating how much the focusing operation according to the setting value is progressing.
