Abstract
An anti-shake apparatus of a photographing apparatus comprises a movable unit, and a control apparatus. The movable unit has an imaging device, and can be moved in first and second directions. The control apparatus moves the movable unit to first, second, third, and fourth positions, and performs first, second, third, and fourth imaging operations, and a combination operation for obtaining an anti-shake image signal in which lag from hand-shake is corrected. In the first imaging operation, a first imaging position of a first photography frame in which lag corresponding to a first hand-shake quantity is corrected, is calculated, and a first image signal which is imaged at an overlapping area between an imaging field of the imaging device at the first position and the first photography frame, is obtained. In the combination operation, the anti-shake image signal is obtained by combining the first, second, third, and fourth image signals.
