Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising: a diaphragm unit configured to adjust an amount of incident light on an image sensor; an image stabilization unit configured to correct an image shake caused by a vibration of the imaging apparatus; a correction unit configured to perform a correction of an image signal that corresponds to at least one of driving of the diaphragm unit and driving of the image stabilization unit; and a control unit configured to control the diaphragm unit, the image stabilization unit, and the correction unit, wherein the correction unit includes at least a first state for performing a correction of the image signal when it can be substantially determined that neither the diaphragm unit nor the image stabilization unit is being driven by the control unit and a second state for not performing a correction of the image signal or for performing a correction of the image signal weaker than that performed in the first state when it can be substantially determined that at least one of the diaphragm unit and the image stabilization unit is being driven by the control unit.
