Abstract

An image pickup apparatus includes an image-blur-amount calculation unit that calculates an image blur amount of a dynamic picture image, based on a blur of a main body unit when taking the dynamic picture image and an optical correction unit that optically corrects a blur of the dynamic picture image, an electronic correction unit that electronically corrects the image blur, a shutter-speed calculation unit that calculates a shutter speed of the imaging unit, and an image-blur-correction control unit that calculates an optical correction amount by the optical correction unit and optically corrects the image blur based on the optical correction amount, and also calculates an electronic correction amount by the electronic correction unit and electronically corrects the image blur based on the electronic correction amount, based on at least one of the amount of image blur and the shutter speed.
