Abstract
An imaging device detects a shake detection signal and an amount of motion of an image within a photography screen when a panning assist mode is set. A search range of a face detection position of a subject is set, and a process of changing a calculation process of a subject vector is performed based on a face detection result. If the face detection position of the subject is acquired, a first calculation process in which a subject vector is calculated from motion vectors within a first detection range based on the face detection position is performed. If the face detection position of the subject is not acquired and a subject vector can be detected, a second calculation process n which a subject vector is calculated from the motion vectors within a second detection range based on a focus detection frame set within the photography screen is performed.
