Patent ID: 7720365

Claim:
A photographic device comprising: a shake detector that detects a device shake that is a shake of said photographic device; a shake mitigator that mitigates the effects of said device shake to reduce an image shake that is a shake of a photographed subject image; a first commander that commands to photograph said subject image; and a shake controller that controls said shake mitigator so that said shake mitigator, which is mitigating the effects of said device shake, refrains from mitigating the effects of said device shake from when said first commander commands to photograph said subject image until when photographing said subject image commences wherein a period in which mitigation of the effects of said device shake is not performed is synchronized with a period in which photometry is performed, and wherein the effects of said device shake are mitigated both before and after the period in which mitigation of the effects of said device shake is not performed.
