Abstract

An imaging apparatus includes a first image shake correcting unit for correcting image shake and moves a correction lens in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis using detection information obtained by an attitude detection sensor. In a second image shake correcting unit, a translational motion detecting unit acquires information about an image captured by an imaging element from a pre-processing unit so as to detect the motion of the image in the translational direction. An in-plane rotational motion detecting unit detects the motion of the image in the rotational direction about the optical axis. A geometric deforming unit acquires detection information from the translational motion detecting unit and the in-plane rotational motion detecting unit so as to correct the image shake of the corrected image, which occurs when the image is subject to rotational correction based on the detection information obtained from the in-plane rotational motion detecting unit.
