Patent ID: 8743218

Claim:
An imaging apparatus comprising: an optical system; an imaging device configured to capture a subject image formed by the optical system; a correction lens configured to correct a shake of the subject image formed on the imaging device; a gyro sensor detecting an amount of shake of the imaging apparatus; and a controller: determining, while the correction lens is being driven and moving, whether or not a position of the correction lens has exceeded a redetermined position more than a redetermined number of times, the predetermined number being more than one; changing a driving mode of the correction lens to a first mode when the position of the correction lens has not exceeded the predetermined position more than the predetermined number of times, the first mode being a mode where the correction lens is driven based on a result of the detection by the gyro sensor; and changing the driving mode of the correction lens to a second mode when the position of the correction lens has exceeded the predetermined position more than the predetermined number of times, the second mode being a mode where a drive of the correction lens is stopped or where an amount of movement of the correction lens is suppressed more than that for the first mode.
