Patent ID: 7889237

Claim:
A digital camera, comprising: an image sensor for acquiring subject images via a photographing lens; an image processing circuit, repeatedly input with a subject image signal acquired by the image sensor, for cropping all or part of the subject image signal, enlarging, and outputting as image data; a display element for displaying the image data output by the image processing circuit enlarged or compressed; a vibration sensor for detecting vibration of the digital camera; a vibration compensation circuit for calculating at least one of vibration direction and vibration amount according to output of the vibration sensor; a shift mechanism for moving the image sensor or part of the photographing lens; a designation member for designating a position and magnification factor of an image displayed by the display element; and a control circuit for, in the case where the magnification factor is greater than 1, designating the position and size for cropping the subject image signal by the image processing circuit according to calculated results of the vibration compensation circuit, and in the case where the magnification factor is equal to 1, instructing the shift mechanism to move the image sensor or part of the photographing lens according to the calculated results of the vibration compensation circuit.
