1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
a pixel region in which a plurality of pixels are arranged and into which light is incident through an imaging lens; and
a controller that controls readout of a pixel signal from the pixel region,
wherein in the pixel region, phase difference pixels, each of which includes a photoelectric conversion element, and a light blocking layer, which blocks a part of light incident on the photoelectric conversion element, are arranged along a first direction,
in a case where one side in the first direction is set as a first side and the other side is set as a second side,
the pixel region includes a first phase difference pixel group including a plurality of the phase difference pixels of which the first side of the photoelectric conversion element is blocked by the light blocking layer in a first side region of the first side, and a second phase difference pixel group including a plurality of the phase difference pixels of which the second side of the photoelectric conversion element is blocked by the light blocking layer, and
the first phase difference pixel group includes a first A pixel and a first B pixel in which a light blocking area of the photoelectric conversion element using the light blocking layer is smaller than that of the first A pixel, and
the controller acquires the optical characteristics from the imaging lens and performs addition readout processing in which at least one of a pixel signal of the first A pixel or a pixel signal of the first B pixel is weighted in accordance with the acquired optical characteristics,
wherein in a case where the optical characteristics are unlikely to be acquired from the imaging lens, the controller performs the addition readout processing with the weight as a default value.
