Abstract
An exposure start determining section executes exposure start determination to reduce shaking during exposure, on the basis of the output of the shake detecting/computing section. At this time, an exposure start method used in the exposure start determining section is changed in accordance with a change condition set in a condition setting section. For example, in accordance with an exposure start instructing operation (a releasing operation), preparatory operations (such as a mirror-raising operation, a lens stop down operation, etc.) for exposure are executed. When the preparatory operations have finished, the shake detecting/computing section and the exposure start determining section start to operate. An exposure-start-determining-method changing section changes an exposure start determination method used in the exposure start determining means before and after a predetermined period elapses from the start of the shake detecting/computing section and the exposure start determining section.
