Abstract
An image pickup apparatus includes an image sensor configured to photoelectrically convert an optical image formed by an imaging optical system and to output an image signal, and a processor configured to control a first correction unit and a second correction unit for image stabilization. The first correction unit includes a first movable part, and a first rolling member, via which the first movable part is movable in a plane orthogonal to an optical axis of the imaging optical system. The processor is configured to control the first correction unit to perform a first operation of the first movable part that moves the first rolling member to a first position apart from an end of a movable range of the first rolling member, and to control the second correction unit to perform a second operation that reduces a positional shift in the image signal caused by the first operation.
