An imaging apparatus that performs positioning of a plurality of images that has been continuously captured by an image sensor includes at least one memory, and at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory. The at least one processor functions as a detection unit configured to detect a difference in position between the images captured by the image sensor, a drive unit configured to drive a shake correction unit that optically corrects image blur of each image based on the difference in position detected by the detection unit, and a coordinate transformation unit configured to perform positioning of the images in which the image blur has been corrected by the shake correction unit, based on the difference in position detected by the detection unit.
