Patent ID: 7483056

Claim:
An image capturing apparatus comprising: an apparatus body provided with an imaging device unit including an imaged plane on which an image of a subject is provided; the imaging device unit including the imaged plane being configured to be capable of being displaced, a photographic optical system that projects a light-flux from said subject toward said imaging device to form an image of the subject on the imaged plane of said imaging device unit; a blur detecting device that detects an amount of a blur produced by said apparatus body; a blur compensating device that compensates for said blur produced by the apparatus body by displacing the imaging device unit including the imaged plane; and a system controller to control the blur compensating device based on the amount of blur detected by the blur detecting device, wherein the system controller includes a blur compensation controlling unit that computes an amount of displacement with which the blur compensating device drives the imaging device unit including the imaged plane and is configured to control displacement of the imaging device unit including the imaged plane by the blur compensating device based on the computed amount of the displacement, wherein the system controller includes a calibrating unit which calibrates a conversion coefficient which is used to convert an output of the blur detecting device into the amount of displacement, and an executing unit that executes a calibrating operation to execute a calibration mode for calibrating the conversion coefficient.
