Claim Text:
1. An image capturing apparatus comprising: a shake correction lens; a detection unit configured to detect a shake of the image capturing apparatus and output a shake signal corresponding to the shake; a determination unit configured to determine a target position of said shake correction lens in accordance with the output shake signal; and a position controller configured to perform feedback control to converge a position of said shake correction lens to the determined target position, wherein said determination unit includes: a division unit configured to divide the shake signal into a low-frequency component and a high-frequency component; a first low-pass filter configured to integrate the high-frequency component; a second low-pass filter having a variable cutoff frequency and configured to integrate the low-frequency component; a synthesis unit configured to synthesize an output signal from the first low-pass filter and an output signal from the second low-pass filter, and output the synthetic signal as the target position; a judgment unit configured to judge one of panning and tilting operations of the image capturing apparatus; and a setting unit configured to, when the judgment unit judges that the image capturing apparatus is being panned or tilted, set the cutoff frequency of the second low-pass filter to be a value larger than a value of a cutoff frequency when the image capturing apparatus is neither being panned nor tilted.
