Abstract:
An imaging apparatus comprises a first correcting unit configured to correct image blur by driving at least one of a panning driver that rotates an imaging unit including an imaging optical system and an image sensor in the horizontal direction, and a tilting driver that rotates the imaging unit in the vertical direction; a shake detection unit configured to detect shake; a calculation unit configured to calculate an amount of image blur correction in accordance with the shake detected by the shake detection unit; and a determination unit configured to determine a driving range required by the panning driver or the tilting driver in order to correct an image blur, in accordance with the amount of image blur correction and a mechanical driving end of the panning driver or the tilting driver.
