Abstract

An imaging apparatus includes an image sensor that captures a subject image formed via an optical system to generate image data, an optical image stabilizer, an electronic image stabilizer, and a controller that controls the optical image stabilizer and the electronic image stabilizer. The optical image stabilizer performs image stabilization by moving the image sensor within a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the optical system. The electronic image stabilizer performs image stabilization by applying image processing to the image data. The optical system compresses the subject image more in a first direction orthogonal to the optical axis than in a second direction orthogonal to the optical axis. The optical image stabilizer corrects a rotational shake in a rotational direction about the optical axis. The electronic image stabilizer corrects a shearing resulting from compression of the subject image by the optical system in a state where the rotational shake is corrected by the optical image stabilizer.
