Abstract
An image pickup apparatus includes: an image pickup device; a body portion; an attitude detection portion configured to detect an attitude of the body portion; an image stabilization portion configured to correct image blur; an image stabilization control portion configured to calculate an amount of correction for the image stabilization portion; and a control portion including an image processing portion configured to generate one piece of composite image data from a group of continuously picked-up images; wherein the image stabilization control portion sets a reference angle at a time of picking up image data picked up first in the group of continuously picked-up images, and drives the image stabilization portion so that the reference angle corresponds to inclination of each image at a time of picking up image data picked up for a second time and after.
