Abstract
A stabilization control apparatus that supports a plurality of shooting modes including a first shooting mode and a second shooting mode. The first and second shooting mode have different diagonal-line lengths of an available area of an image sensor. The stabilization control apparatus sets different reference positions of the image sensor depending on which of the first and second shooting modes is set. The reference position is the center of an area within which the image sensor is moved for image stabilization.
