Abstract
An angular velocity of an image capture apparatus and a motion vector between images are detected. An object velocity is computed based on a comparison between a change amount of the angular velocities and a change amount of the motion vectors. Then, by changing an optical axis based on the object velocity during exposure, a panning assistance function capable of dealing with various panning operations can be provided.
