Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an angular velocity sensor that detects a shake and a motion vector detection unit that detects a motion of a subject, and optically corrects an image blur by moving a shift lens. In a mode for supporting panning imaging, a shutter speed calculation unit calculates first and second exposure times as an exposure time of an imaging element. The first exposure time is calculated using a shake detection signal, a motion amount of a subject image, a focal distance of an imaging optical system, and a set value of a flow effect of a background image. The second exposure time is calculated from the shake detection signal, the motion amount of the subject image, a position and a maximum correction angle of a shift lens. If the first exposure time exceeds the second exposure time, processing of preferentially determining the second exposure time is performed.
