Abstract:
1. An image stabilization apparatus used in an image capture apparatus, comprising: a control unit which moves, based on a shake detected by a shake detection unit, a correction member movable in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of an imaging optical system of the image capture apparatus, and corrects an image blur caused by the shake, wherein a maximum movable range of the correction member determines a maximum movable distance of the correction member from the optical axis and determines a correctable maximum camera shake angle, wherein when the shutter speed in shooting by the image capture apparatus is lower than the first predetermined value and higher than a second predetermined value which is lower than the first predetermined value, said control unit sets the maximum movable range of the correction member to be wider than the maximum movable range set when the shutter speed in shooting by the image capture apparatus is higher than the first predetermined value or lower than the second predetermined value.
