Abstract:
1. An image capturing apparatus comprising: an image sensing unit arranged to sense an object image formed by an optical system; an vibration detection unit arranged to detect a vibration applied to the image capturing apparatus; a vector detection unit arranged to detect a motion vector from an image sensed by said image sensing unit; a first calculation unit arranged to calculate a first correction amount from a signal obtained based on an output from said vibration detection unit and a signal obtained by multiplying the motion vector by a predetermined coefficient 1−K (0≦K≦1); a second calculation unit arranged to calculate a second correction amount based on a signal obtained by multiplying the motion vector by a predetermined coefficient K, where 0≦K≦1; a first correction unit arranged to optically correct the vibration based on the first correction amount; and a second correction unit arranged to electronically correct the vibration by changing an image read region based on the second correction amount, wherein the image capturing apparatus is arranged such that vibration correction is performed using both said first correction unit and said second correction unit.
