Patent ID: 8059156

Claim:
An imaging apparatus having an image-capturing mode capable of capturing an image and a playback mode for displaying image data stored in a storage medium and not capable of capturing the image comprising: a detection unit configured to detect shaking of the imaging apparatus; a correcting unit configured to correct an image-blur due to shaking detected by the detection unit; a controlling unit configured to determine a correcting value based on a shake detection result detected by the detection unit and control the correcting unit based on the correcting value in a predetermined driving range; and a switch configured to switch the image-capturing mode and the playback mode, wherein, in case where the mode is switched from the image-capturing mode to the playback mode by the switch, the correcting unit is kept on driving within the predetermined driving range until a predetermined time period has elapsed, and the controlling unit controls the correcting unit such that, after the predetermined period of time has elapsed, a driving range of the correcting unit is reduced, without stopping driving of the correcting unit, to a limited driving range compared to the predetermined driving range and the correcting value continues to be applied at a reduced value.
