Claim 0:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
a body mount to which an interchangeable lens is attachable;
an imaging sensor that captures an object image formed through the interchangeable lens attached to the body mount to generate image data;
a driver that performs image blur correction by moving the imaging sensor in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis; and
a controller that causes the driver to move the imaging sensor, wherein
the interchangeable lens includes a first interchangeable lens that cannot communicate with the imaging apparatus and/or a second interchangeable lens that can communicate with the imaging apparatus but the controller cannot acquire information indicating size of an image circle from the second interchangeable lens, and
when the first interchangeable lens or the second interchangeable lens is attached to the body mount, the controller
causes the driver to move the imaging sensor automatically, thereby detecting a movable amount of the imaging sensor that does not cause a vignetting in the captured image at a time when moving the imaging sensor for image blur correction, and
causes the driver to move the imaging sensor within a range of the detected movable amount.
