Abstract
An image pickup apparatus in which an actuator varies an image forming position with respect to an image forming plane. The apparatus has a control mechanism for controlling the actuator. This control is such that the actuator performs a first operation for correcting an image shake and a second operation for moving the image formed on the image forming plane. In the latter operation, the image is moved by a predetermined amount relative to a pixel pitch of the image forming plane to change a resolving power.
