Abstract
An image stabilization apparatus used in an image capturing apparatus that includes a display unit and which causes the display unit to display a still image captured by the image capturing apparatus by following a moving main object comprises a control unit configured to control the display unit so as to extract an area for the main object from an image captured by the image capturing apparatus and to display the extracted area and a calculating unit configured to calculate a motion of the main object based on a blur detected by a first detector which detects the blur of the image capturing apparatus and a motion vector detected by a second detector which detects the motion vector from the image, wherein the control unit changes the area for the main object based on the motion of the main object before the still image is captured.
