A photographic apparatus comprises a movable platform and a controller.The movable platform has an imager and is movable and rotatable on an xy plane perpendicular.The controller calculates an inclination angle of the photographic apparatus, and performs a controlled movement of the movable platform for an inclination correction based on the inclination angle.The controller calculates a first position of the movable platform before the inclination correction.The controller calculates a second position of the movable platform after the inclination correction.The controller determines whether the movable platform should be moved to a third position before moving from the first position to the second position in the inclination correction, on the basis of a positional relationship between the first position and the second position.The third position is a position of the movable platform in an imaging operation by the imager without the inclination correction.
