Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 12:
13. An image capturing apparatus that includes an image sensor, comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory having instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform operations as:
a translational shake detection section configured to detect a translational shake of the image capturing apparatus to output a speed signal;
a photographing magnification acquisition section configured to acquire a photographing magnification of a photographing optical system that causes light from an object to form an image on an imaging surface of the image sensor;
a total exposure time determination section configured to determine a total exposure time period over which a plurality of images are to be consecutively acquired by the image sensor;
an imaging surface translational shake amount prediction section configured to predict an imaging surface translational shake amount of the image sensor, which is to occur over the total exposure time period, based on the speed signal and the photographing magnification; and
a photographing condition determination section configured to determine an exposure time period of each of frames of the images to be consecutively photographed and the number of the frames of the images to be consecutively photographed, based on the total exposure time period and the imaging surface translational shake amount.
