Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes a first imaging sensor, a second imaging sensor, a display unit, an electronic viewfinder unit, a position changing unit and a sensor-shift shaking correction unit. The first imaging sensor acquires an image relating to a subject at the time of main photography. The second imaging sensor acquires an image relating to the subject before the time of main photography. The sensor-shift shaking correction unit performs shaking correction at the time of the main photography, by changing a position of the first sensor with the position changing unit. The electronic viewfinder unit performs consecutive image display on a display screen of the display unit, based on images sequentially acquired by the second imaging sensor before the main photography, and includes an electronic shaking correction unit that performs shaking correction of the consecutive image display, by changing the display position of the images on the display screen.
