Claim 10:
11. A control method of an imaging device that comprises an imaging element which images a subject through a lens device comprising a vibration-proof lens and a vibration-proof lens drive mechanism having a lens position detecting sensor disposed adjacent to the vibration-proof lens, the method comprising:
an image shake correcting step of correcting an image shake of a captured image output from the imaging element by moving the imaging element or moving an acquisition range of the captured image on a light receiving surface of the imaging element;
a lens position acquiring step of acquiring a position of the vibration-proof lens, detected by the lens position detecting sensor of the vibration proof lens drive mechanism, in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the lens device, wherein the position of the vibration-proof lens is estimated based on a movement amount of the lens device or the imaging device, and the estimated position is acquired as the position of the vibration-proof lens; and
a reliability determining step of determining reliability of an estimation result of the position,
wherein, in the image shake correcting step, a movable range of the imaging element or a movable range of the acquisition range is controlled based on the position of the vibration-proof lens acquired in the lens position acquiring step,
wherein, in the image shake correcting step, a range in a maximum movable range of the imaging element, which is decided based on the position of the vibration-proof lens and optical information of the lens device is set as the movable range, and
wherein the image shake correcting step decides, based on the reliability, whether or not to execute processing of controlling the movable range based on the position of the vibration-proof lens.
