Patent ID: 8279290

Claim:
An image pickup apparatus comprising: a change unit configured to select a shooting frame rate; a detection unit configured to detect a shake of the image pickup apparatus; an obtaining unit configured to obtain information on a movement of an image among a plurality of frames taken by the image pickup apparatus; a signal processing unit configured to output a blur correction signal for correcting an image blur caused by a shake of the image pickup apparatus; and a correction unit configured to correct the blur of an image shot by the image pickup apparatus on the basis of the blur correction signal, wherein the signal processing unit is configured to combine a first signal obtained by multiplying a first coefficient by a first blur signal obtained from the detection unit and a second signal obtained by multiplying a second coefficient by a second blur signal obtained from the obtaining unit thereby to obtain the blur correction signal, and wherein the signal processing unit is configured to decrease the first coefficient and to increase the second coefficient, while the shooting frame rate becomes high.
