Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising: a shake detector configured to detect a shake of the imaging apparatus; a first calculation unit configured to calculate a first shake correction amount based on an output of the shake detector; a vector detector configured to detect a motion vector on an imaging surface; a first integration unit configured to integrate an output of the vector detector; a second calculation unit configured to calculate a second shake correction amount based on the output of the vector detector; a shake correction unit configured to correct an image-shake based of the first shake correction amount and the second shake correction amount; and a determination unit configured to determine whether the imaging apparatus is in a panning state; wherein the determination unit determines that the imaging apparatus is in a panning state in a case where at least one of the outputs, including the output of the shake detector and the output of the first integration unit, exceeds a predetermined value, and wherein the determination unit determines that the imaging apparatus is no longer in a panning state in a case where the output of the shake detector and the output of the first integration unit are below the predetermined value.
