Abstract
In an image taking apparatus, an imaging unit senses an image of a subject, and a face detection unit detects a face in the image sensed by the imaging unit. A motion detection unit detects an amount of face motion indicating an amount of shake of an area of the face detected by the face detection unit in the image sensed by the imaging unit and also detects an amount of background motion indicating an amount of shake of an area other than the face area. A shake correction unit corrects the shake of the image sensed by the imaging unit according to the amount of face motion and the amount of background motion detected by the motion detection unit.
