Patent ID: 8823814

Claim:
An imaging apparatus comprising: an optical system including a zoom lens; an imaging device that captures an image imaged via the optical system to generate image data; a detecting unit that detects a shake of the imaging apparatus in a rotating direction; a cutting-out unit that cuts out data in a predetermined cutting-out region in a region of the image data generated by the imaging device; and a recording unit that records the cut image data in a recording medium, wherein the cutting-out unit determines a rotating center position according to a focal length of the optical system, rotates the cutting-out region around the rotating center position so that an effect of the shake in the rotating direction detected by the detecting unit on the image imaged on the imaging device is reduced, and cuts out the image data from the rotated cutting-out region, wherein the cutting-out unit determines the rotating center position by setting the rotating center position to a position separated farther from a center position of an image represented by the image data generated by the imaging device as the focal length of the optical system becomes shorter, and wherein the cutting-out unit rotates the cutting-out region around the rotating center position by rolling the image represented by the image data generated by the imaging device in a rolling direction.
