Abstract
An electronic still camera includes an imaging device imaging an object. A release section puts the imaging operation of said imaging device into effect. A camera shake detection circuit detects the quantity of camera shake during the imaging operation of said imaging device. A sequence control circuit evaluates the quantity of camera shake during the imaging operation detected by camera shake detection circuit in response to the release operation by said release section and reads out an imaging signal when the result of camera shake detection is below a predetermined value.
