Abstract
An image stabilization apparatus including a supporting unit that supports an image capturing unit, a rotation unit that rotates the supporting unit, a calculation unit that calculates a residual correction amount of image blur after image blur correction is performed by a first image blur correction unit, a second image blur correction unit that corrects the residual correction amount of image blur using a method different from that of the first image blur correction unit, and a change unit that changes allocation between a correctable range of the second image blur correction unit correcting image blur in a horizontal or vertical direction on the imaging plane and a correctable range of the second image blur correction unit, based on a rotation angle of the rotation unit and the residual correction amount of image blur.
