Abstract:
1. An image pickup apparatus comprising: one of an image pickup lens and a mounting portion on which an interchangeable image pickup lens is mounted; a synchronization-signal generator to which a trigger signal is input, and which outputs a first synchronization signal and a second synchronization signal based on one trigger signal; an image pickup element which carries out a first capturing based on the first synchronization signal and carries out a second capturing based on the second synchronization signal; a first calculating section which calculates an amount of camera-shake correction based on an amount of shaking of the image pickup apparatus which has been detected, when each of the first capturing and the second capturing is carried out; a second calculating section which calculates at least an amount of optical tilt-displacement between the image pickup element and an object for the first capturing, which is necessary for the second capturing, wherein the second calculating section, based on a calculation result of the first calculating section and a calculation result of the second calculating section, calculates one of an amount of shift by which some of the image pickup lenses and the interchangeable image pickup lenses are to be shifted in a direction perpendicular to an optical axial direction of the interchangeable image pickup lenses or the image pickup lenses, and an amount of change by which an angle of an image pickup surface of the image pickup element with respect to the optical axial direction is to be changed, while the first capturing and the second capturing are being carried out, and the image pickup apparatus further comprising: a driving-signal output section which outputs a driving signal which drives some of the interchangeable image pickup lenses or the image pickup lenses, or the image pickup element, based on a result of calculation by the second calculating section.
