Abstract
An imaging device includes an imaging optical system through which object light flux passes, an image sensor to form the object light flux that has passed through the imaging optical system as an object image, a shake detector to detect shake, a blurred-image correction unit including at least one of the image sensor and an optical element that makes up at least a part of the imaging optical system, a drive circuit to drive the blurred-image correction unit in a direction different from an optical axis of the imaging optical system to move a position on the image sensor at which the object image is formed, to correct a blurred image, and a drive controller to control, based on a current position and a control objective position of the blurred-image correction unit, operation of the blurred-image correction unit by the drive circuit at a constant control cycle.
