Abstract
An image stabilization apparatus that reduces image blurring by moving a correction mechanism in accordance with a motion of an image capture apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus controls a movement of the correction mechanism in accordance with a target position of the correction mechanism, the target position being intended to reduce the image blurring. The apparatus detects a vibration of a preset frequency included in the motion, the preset frequency being higher than a first frequency of a vibration caused by a camera shake. The apparatus, in a case where the vibration of the preset frequency has been detected, further reduces a control gain used for controlling the movement of the correction mechanism compared to a case where the vibration of the preset frequency has not been detected.
