Abstract
A moving image mode for sensing a moving image or a still image mode for sensing a still image is designated by a mode designation unit of an image sensing apparatus, and image signals of all pixels of a non-interlace scanning type image sensing device are sequentially read out in one field period. If the moving image mode is designated by the mode designation unit, panning compensation is performed. In the panning compensation, whether panning or tilting is being performed during an image sensing operation or not is judged. If it is judged that panning or tilting is being performed, a control unit controls to prohibit or restrain vibration blur correction. If it is judged that neither panning nor tilting is being performed, vibration blur correction is performed in accordance with performance of the image sensing apparatus. Further, if the still image mode is designated, panning compensation is not performed, and vibration blur correction is performed in accordance with performance of the image sensing apparatus.
