ABSTRACT:
An electronic camera includes: an image-capturing unit including an image-capturing device and an image-capturing optical system; a blur detecting unit; a moving unit moving part or all of the image-capturing unit to eliminate the blur according to the detection result; a reading unit reading the image from the image-capturing device; a viewfinder displaying unit continuously displaying the image read; an operating unit accepting a user instruction; and a controlling unit performing, when the start of photographing is not instructed, electronic blur correction by controlling the reading unit to continuously change an image-capturing range of the image-capturing device or continuously changing a range of the image read to be displayed on the viewfinder displaying unit, and ends, when it is instructed, the electronic blur correction and performs optical blur correction by controlling the moving unit. Accordingly, appropriate blur correction is feasible with an increase in power consumption suppressed.
