Abstract:
1. A digital imaging apparatus having a camera shake compensation function and a sensitivity switching function of switching sensitivity at a time of shooting, comprising: an imaging unit including an image sensor for shooting a view of a subject as a still image to produce an image signal representative of the view; a signal processor for processing the image signal produced by said imaging unit; and a controller for controlling said imaging unit to shoot the view of the subject, said imaging unit including a compensator for compensating for an effect of camera shake on an image of the view of the subject, said controller switching a compensation state of said compensator and switching optical sensitivity of said image sensor, said controller including a movement detector for detecting movement of the subject on the image signal produced from said imaging unit and viewed as a through-image, said controller being responsive to the movement detected to control the sensitivity setting at the time of shooting.
