Patent ID: 8081223

Claim:
An imaging apparatus comprising: an imaging device configured to subject an optical subject image to photoelectric conversion to generate an image signal; an angular velocity sensor configured to detect angular velocity with said imaging apparatus; a first shaking amount calculation section configured to integrate detection values obtained by said angular velocity sensor to calculate first shaking amount of said imaging apparatus; a second shaking amount calculation section configured to calculate second shaking amount of said imaging apparatus based on image data obtained by said imaging device; a third shaking amount calculation section configured to correct said first shaking amount to calculate third shaking amount of said imaging apparatus based on first amplitude which is a fluctuation range relating to said first shaking amount during a predetermined period, and second amplitude which is a fluctuation range relating to said second shaking amount during said predetermined period; and a correction control section configured to correct the shaking of said imaging apparatus based on said third shaking amount, wherein said third shaking amount calculation section correct said first shaking amount according to an amplitude ratio between said first amplitude and said second amplitude to calculate said third shaking amount.
