ABSTRACT:
An imaging apparatus includes a shake detector configured to detect a shake applied to the imaging apparatus, a first calculation unit configured to calculate a first shake correction amount based on an output of the shake detector, a vector detector configured to detect a motion vector on an imaging surface, a first integration unit configured to integrate an output of the vector detector, a second calculation unit configured to calculate a second shake correction amount based on the output of the vector detector, a shake correction unit configured to correct an image-shake based of the first shake correction amount and the second shake correction amount; and an angle-of-view change determination unit configured to detect an angle-of-view changing operation of the imaging apparatus, wherein the angle-of-view change determination unit determines the start of the angle-of-view changing operation when a signal obtained based on the output of the shake detector is greater than a predetermined value or an output of the first integration unit is greater than a predetermined value.
