Abstract

In an imaging device, a first motion information acquisition unit acquires motion information of the imaging device, and a second motion information acquisition unit acquires motion information of an external device. A shake information generation unit performs a process of subtracting the motion information of the external device from the motion information of the imaging device on the basis of the acquired motion information of the imaging device and the external device. Image blur correction information is generated from the subtracted motion information. An image blur correction control unit performs driving control of a correction lens of an optical system and a movement mechanism unit of an imaging element in accordance with the image blur correction information from the shake information generation unit.
