Abstract:
1. An image capture apparatus having an image capture mode in which a moving picture, captured for a period of time which comprises at least one of a duration of a specific length of time before capture of a still picture and a duration of the specific length of time after capture of the still picture, is recorded along with the still picture, the apparatus comprising: a memory unit that buffers the moving picture captured for the specific length of time; and an image stabilization control unit that performs image stabilization with an image stabilization unit according to shake of the apparatus, the image stabilization control unit having a first image stabilization mode and a second image stabilization mode, wherein the image stabilization control unit performs image stabilization without using the second image stabilization mode when the moving picture is being buffered by the memory unit, and wherein image shake caused by rotational shake is corrected in the first image stabilization mode, and in the second image stabilization mode, image shake caused by translational shake in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis is corrected in addition to the rotational shake.
