Patent ID: 7961233

Claim:
An electronic blurring compensation device for compensating blurring of a plurality of images shot in a time-division manner and synthesizing the compensated images, the device comprising: a shooting section for continuously shooting a plurality of images based on a blurring exposure time in which blurring is allowable; a control section for obtaining a number k, where k is a number of times for shooting the plurality of images such that an area where all of the continuously shot images overlap one another has a size not smaller than a predetermined size set in advance, based on an exposure time obtained by multiplying a reciprocal of a focal length of a shooting lens by a predetermined coefficient set in advance and the blurring exposure time in which blurring is allowable, and obtaining the plurality of images to be synthesized by performing shooting not more than k times; a blurring compensation section for compensating mutual blurring of the plurality of images to be synthesized obtained by the control section; and an image synthesize section for synthesizing the plurality of images compensated by the blurring compensation section.
