Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide an image correcting apparatus for an imaging device including a camera module having a first motion sensor. The image correct apparatus includes a second motion sensor sensing a movement, and a controller determining whether the movement gets out of an operation range of the first motion sensor, and correcting an image obtained from the camera module based on movement data sensed by the second motion sensor, when the movement gets out of the operation range of the first motion sensor. Generation of blur in an image when a displacement of handshaking is at an angle equal to or greater than a correction angle of an optical image stabilizer (OIS) module is prevented, and thus, a clear image is obtained.
