An image-taking apparatus is disclosed, which is capable of reducing the influence of the one-side blur by the automatic focusing function. The image-taking apparatus comprises a focus detector, which detects the focus state of the plurality of focus detection areas, and a selector, which selects a focus target area from a plurality of focus detection area based on the detection result of the focus detector. In a case where a first object distance to a first object is longer than a first predetermined distance, and a second object distance to a second object, which exists on an outer side of the first object in the image-taking screen, is shorter than the first object distance by a second predetermined distance or more, the selector selects the focus detection area corresponding to the second object as the focus target area.

What is claimed is: 1. An image-taking apparatus comprising: a focus detector, which detects the focus states at a plurality of focus detection areas provided in an image-taking screen; and a selector, which selects a focus target area from the plurality of focus detection areas based on the detection result of the focus detector, an image-taking lens being focused on an object in the focus target area, wherein, in a case where a first object distance to a first object is longer than a first predetermined distance, a second object which exists on an outer side of the first object in the image-taking screen is relatively near to the image-taking apparatus for the first object, and a distance of a difference between the second object and the first object is more than a second predetermined distance, the selector selects the focus detection area corresponding to the first object as the focus target area. 2. The image-taking apparatus according to claim 1, wherein, in a case where more than one second objects exists, the selector selects the focus detection area corresponding to the second object distance shorter than others as the focus target area. 3. The image-taking apparatus according to claim 1, wherein, in a case where the first object distance is longer than the first predetermined distance, and the second object distance is shorter than the first object distance by a distance less than the second predetermined distance, the selector selects the focus detection area corresponding to the first object as the focus target area. 4. The image-taking apparatus according to claim 1, wherein, in a case where the first object distance is shorter than the first predetermined distance, the selector selects the focus detection area corresponding the shortest object distance as the focus target area. 5. The image-taking apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first and the second predetermined distances are changed in accordance with the focal length of the image-taking lens. 6. The image-taking apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a driver, which drives a focus lens so that the image-taking lens is focused on the object in the focus target position. 7. An image-taking apparatus comprising: a focus detector, which detects the focus states at a plurality of image areas provided in an image-taking screen; and a selector, which selects a focus target area from the plurality of image areas based on the detection result of the focus detector, an image-taking lens being focused on an object in the focus target area, wherein, in a case where a first object distance to a first object displayed in a first screen area of an image-taking screen is longer than a first predetermined distance, a second object displayed in a second screen area which exists on an outer side of the first object in the image-taking screen is relatively near to the image-taking apparatus for the first object, and a distance of a difference between the second object and the first object is more than a second predetermined distance, the selector selects the image area corresponding to the first object as the focus target area. 8. The image-taking apparatus according to claim 7, wherein, in a case where no focusable area is included in the first screen area, the selector selects the focus detection area corresponding to the shortest object distance in the second screen area as the focus target area. 9. The image-taking apparatus according to claim 7, further comprising an attitude detector, which detects the attitude of the image-taking apparatus, and wherein the selector changes the first and second screen areas in accordance with the detection result of the attitude detector. 10. A focusing method comprising: a focus detection step of detecting focus states at a plurality of focus detection areas provided in an image-taking screen; and a selection step of selecting a focus target area from the plurality of focus detection areas based on a detection result of the focus detection step, an image-taking lens being focused on an object in the focus target area, wherein, in a case where a first object distance to a first object is longer than a first predetermined distance, a second object which exists on an outer side of the first object in the image-taking screen is relatively near to the image-taking apparatus for the first object, and a distance of a difference between the second object and the first object is more than a second predetermined distance, in the selection step, the focus detection area corresponding to the first object is selected as the focus target area. 11. A focusing method comprising: a focus detection step of detecting focus states at a plurality of image areas provided in an image-taking screen; and a selection step of selecting a focus target area from the plurality of image areas based on the detection result of the focus detection step, an image-taking lens being focused on an object in the focus target area, wherein, in a case where a first object distance to a first object displayed in a first screen area of an image-taking screen is longer than a first predetermined distance, a second object displayed in a second screen area which exists on an outer side of the first object in the image-taking screen is relatively near to the image-taking apparatus for the first object, and a distance of a difference between the second object and the first object is more than a second predetermined distance, in the selection step, the image area corresponding to the first object is selected as the focus target area.
