Abstract:
An image stabilization apparatus comprising: an image stabilization unit that performs image stabilization by changing a crop position at which part of image is cropped from an image obtained by photoelectric conversion of an optical image formed through a detachable lens unit by an image sensor based on a vibration amount detected by a vibration detection unit; a control unit that controls the image stabilization unit so as to shift the crop position by a predetermined swing back amount toward a center of the image; and a determination unit that determines whether or not zooming is performed based on focal lengths obtained from the lens unit at a predetermined time interval, wherein the control unit increases the swing back amount in a case where zooming is performed than in a case where zooming is not performed.

Claim (Index 8):
An image capturing apparatus comprising:\n an image sensor; and an image stabilization apparatus comprising:\n an image stabilization unit that performs image stabilization by changing a crop position at which part of image is cropped from an image obtained by photoelectric conversion of an optical image formed through a detachable lens unit by the image sensor based on a vibration amount detected by a vibration detection unit; \n a control unit that controls the image stabilization unit so as to shift the crop position by a predetermined swing back amount toward a center of the image; and \n a determination unit that determines whether or not zooming is performed based on focal lengths obtained from the lens unit at a predetermined time interval, \n wherein let a distance between positions on a sensor surface of the image sensor corresponding to a center of the image and a center of the crop position be \u03b4, the focal length be f, and an angle [rad] at the position on the sensor surface of the image sensor corresponding to the center of the crop position with respect to a central axis orthogonal to the sensor surface be \u03b8, when relationship is expressed by\n \u03b4=\u03b8\u00d7 f,  \n and if a change amount of the angle \u03b8 in a predetermined period is constant, then the control unit disperses a difference between focal lengths obtained at the predetermined time interval so that the change amount of the focal length in the predetermined period becomes constant in a case where zooming is performed,\n wherein the lens unit is detachable from the image capturing apparatus, and \n wherein each unit, except for the lens unit, is implemented by one or more processors, circuitry or a combination thereof.
