Claim One:
1. An image capturing apparatus that captures an image and corrects blurring of the captured image, said image capturing apparatus comprising: an image capturing unit configured to capture an image; an output unit configured to output an image of a framing area, the framing area being a part of a spatial area of the image captured by said image capturing unit; a movement detection unit configured to detect motion vectors in an outer area in the spatial area of the image captured by said image capturing unit, and derive a dispersion of the detected motion vectors as detection accuracy; an area adjustment unit configured to adjust a size of the outer area so that the detection accuracy derived by said movement detection unit meets a predetermined threshold; and a correction unit configured to correct blurring of the image outputted by said output unit, by moving the framing area according to the motion vectors detected by said movement detection unit in the outer area of the size which has been adjusted by said area adjustment unit, irrespective of a movement of an image in an inner area in the spatial area.
