Abstract
An imaging system includes an angular velocity sensor configured to detect shake, and controls driving of a shift lens group on the basis of a shake detection signal and corrects image blur. A motion vector detection unit detects a motion vector from a plurality of captured images. A distance acquisition unit acquires distance information regarding the captured image. A camera control unit acquires the shake detection signal and the motion vector, determines a subject using a detection value of the motion vector in the direction of the closest distance based on the distance information, and calculates an angular velocity of the subject. A panning control unit of a lens control unit performs drive control of the shift lens group using an angular velocity detection signal from which an offset is removed and an angular velocity of the subject acquired from the camera control unit and thus performs control for supporting panning.
