1. A photographing apparatus comprising: an image sensor configured to convert an object image that is formed by a photographing optical system into electrical pixel signals; a driver configured to obtain an optical low-pass filter effect via an object light-bundle being incident on a plurality of pixels of said image sensor by moving a movable member in a direction that is different from an optical axis of said photographing optical system, wherein said movable member includes at least one of a lens element, constituting part of said photographing optical system, and said image sensor; an exposure-commencement instructing device configured to provide an instruction to commence an exposure of said image sensor; and an exposure-commencement controller configured to commence a driving of said movable member via said driver upon said image sensor being instructed to commence an exposure by said exposure-commencement instructing device in a non-driving state of said movable member, and after a predetermined unstable-operation period of time of the low-pass filter operation lapses from the commencement of said driving of said movable member, said exposure-commencement controller commences an exposure of said image sensor.
