ABSTRACT:
An image-capturing apparatus includes a first image pickup element which picks up an actual image of a subject, a second image pickup element which detects a displacement and has sensitivity that is higher than that of the first image pickup element, an image pickup unit for picking up an image of the subject by driving the first image pickup element and the second image pickup element simultaneously, a displacement detecting unit for computing an amount of displacement between images due to a camera shake using image data obtained from the second image pickup element when the image of the subject is picked up by the image pickup unit, and a position correcting unit for correcting a position of image data obtained from the first image pickup element, based on the amount of displacement computed by the displacement detecting unit.
