Claim 1:
2. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the controller moves the imaging sensor maximally by the maximum movable amount with a sensor reference position as a reference, to determine whether there is a vignetting in the captured image indicated by the image data generated by the imaging sensor at a position where the sensor is moved maximally,
when there is a vignetting, until it is determined that there is no vignetting, the controller repeatedly makes the movable amount of the imaging sensor smaller than the current movable amount and moves the imaging sensor maximally by the smaller movable amount with a sensor reference position as a reference, to determine whether there is a vignetting in the captured image indicated by the image data generated by the imaging sensor at a position where the imaging sensor is moved maximally, and
the controller defines the movable amount when it is determined that there is no vignetting as a movable amount that does not cause vignetting in the captured image.
