1. An imaging device comprising:
a focusing-degree change analysis unit configured to analyze a change in a degree of focusing between a current image output from an image sensor and a past image output from the image sensor before the current image is output;
a display control unit configured to generate display data enabling checking of a focused state from the past image in units of pixel regions of the current image by using an analysis result of the focusing-degree change analysis unit; and
a display unit configured to display the display data,
wherein the focusing-degree change analysis unit, the display control unit, and the display unit are each implemented via at least one processor.
