Patent ID: 7664382

Claim:
An electronic blur correction device comprising: an exposure time computing part for computing an exposure time; a time-division exposure time computing part for computing a time-division exposure time that is shorter than a predetermined blur tolerable limit exposure time and is 1/m of the exposure time, wherein m is an integer; a time-division imaging part for performing time-division imaging for the time-division exposure time plural times; a first amplifier part for amplifying the images captured by the time-division imaging part by a factor of m; a blur compensation part for compensating for mutual blurring of a plurality of the time-divided images amplified by the factor of m; an image synthesis part for combining the plurality of the time-divided images the mutual blurring of which are compensated for by the blur compensation part; an ISO sensitivity setting part for setting an ISO sensitivity; and a second amplifier part for amplifying an image signal generated in an image pickup device by a gain determined according to the ISO sensitivity.
