Patent ID: 8786743

Claim:
An imaging apparatus comprising: an imaging device that includes a plurality of pixels; a first curtain configured to travel to block incidence of light on the imaging device; a second curtain configured to permit the incidence of light on the imaging device earlier than traveling of the first curtain; and circuitry configured to: sequentially resetting reset-scan lines of the imaging device earlier than the traveling of the first curtain; correct a line reset-scanning time associated with the sequentially resetting on the basis of a movement amount of the imaging device having been made to move on the basis of a camera shake detection result; correct an image captured by an electronic shutter operation performed by the first curtain and the sequentially resetting using a correction gain based on the movement amount of the imaging device and a slit width; and calculate the correction gain from a difference between an image captured by a mechanical shutter operation performed by the traveling of the first curtain and the second curtain and an image captured by the electronic shutter operation and corrects the image captured by the electronic shutter operation using the calculated correction gain.
