Abstract:
1. An evaluation method for evaluating the performance of an image stabilization function of an imaging apparatus, the evaluation method comprising: a first imaging step of imaging an object, with the image stabilization function being ON and the imaging apparatus being vibrated; a second imaging step of imaging the object, with the imaging apparatus being static; a first calculation step of detecting a motion blur amount based on an image taken in the first imaging step, calculating a first shutter speed that causes the detected motion blur amount to be a predetermined amount, and calculating, based on the first shutter speed and a reference shutter speed obtained from information relating to the vibration given to the imaging apparatus, a first evaluation value indicating a difference between the first shutter speed and the reference shutter speed; a second calculation step of calculating a second evaluation value indicating a difference in image quality between the image taken in the first imaging step and the image taken in the second imaging step; and an evaluation step of calculating an evaluation value of the performance of the image stabilization function of the imaging apparatus, based on a result of subtraction of the second evaluation value from the first evaluation value.
