A photographic apparatus comprises a movable platform and a controller. The movable platform has an imager and is movable and rotatable in an xy plane. The controller performs a movement control of the movable platform for one of a translational movement and a rotational movement. The translational movement includes at least one of a first stabilization for correcting hand shake caused by yaw around the y direction and a second stabilization for correcting hand shake caused by pitch around the x direction. The rotational movement rotates the movable platform in the xy plane. The controller determines which of the translational movement and the rotational movement is to be performed, on the basis of a first hand-shake parameter caused by yaw that is calculated for the first stabilization and a second hand-shake parameter caused by pitch that is calculated for the second stabilization.
