Abstract:
1. An image capture apparatus comprising: a shake detection unit which detects a shake of said image capture apparatus; a motion vector detection unit which detects a motion vector indicating a movement of an image from a captured image signal; a first calculation unit which calculates a first shake correction amount based on an output from said shake detection unit; a second calculation unit which calculates a second shake correction amount based on an output from said motion vector detection unit; a shake correction unit which optically corrects a blur of a captured image based on the first shake correction amount and the second shake correction amount; a panning determination unit which determines that said image capture apparatus performs a panning operation when a signal obtained based on the output from said shake detection unit is larger than a first threshold; a determination unit which determines whether or not said image capture apparatus is in a constant point capturing state in which a constant position is captured; and a control change unit which changes the first threshold to a second threshold larger than the first threshold and amplifies the second shake correction amount when said determination unit determines that said image capture apparatus is in the constant point capturing state.
