1. An imaging device comprising:
a focus driving portion that drives a focus lens;
a tilting driving portion that tilts at least one of an image sensor and an imaging optical system with respect to a surface orthogonal to an optical axis of the imaging optical system;
at least one processor or circuit configured to function as:
a detection unit configured to detect a subject in an image;
a setting unit configured to set a plurality of focus regions in the image based on positional information of the subject detected in the image;
a determination unit configured to determine respective driving amounts for the focus driving unit and for the tilting driving unit based on the positional information and focal information of the plurality of focus regions so that the plurality of focus regions is in focus; and
a control unit configured to control the focus driving unit and the tilting driving unit based on the determined respective driving amounts,
wherein the setting unit sets, as the focus regions, a plurality of regions which include the subjects a predetermined amount or more away from each other in a vertical direction to a tilting axis in the image among the subjects detected in the image.
