Patent ID: 7298398

Claim:
An image capturing apparatus comprising: an image capturing part for capturing an image of a subject; a plurality of drivers for driving said image capturing part in a plurality of directions on the basis of a plurality of drive speed control values, respectively; an instructor for instructing a designated amount of operation of said image capturing part; a detector for detecting whether or not each drive speed control value for said designated amount of operation is within a structural resonance range of said image capturing part and, if a drive speed control value for said designated amount operation is within the structural resonance range of the image capturing part, determine an alternative drive speed control value for that drive speed control value that is not within said structural resonance range from among said plurality of drive speed control values; a changing part for changing said drive speed control value for said designated amount of operation that is within the structural resonance range of the image capturing part to said alternative drive speed control value to reduce a driving time period for said designated amount of operation; and a controller for controlling said plurality of drivers with said plurality of drive speed control values in which said drive speed control value for said designated amount of operation that is within the structural resonance range of the image capturing part is changed to said alternative speed control value.
