Abstract
A camera is provided with an image blur reducing function and rotation means. The image blur reducing function is turned off during rotation in a constant-speed drive pattern in which the rotation means rotates the camera at a constant speed from a start to an end of the rotation operation. The image blur reducing function is turned on during rotation in an intermittent drive pattern in which the rotation means intermittently executes drive operation from the start to the end of the rotation operation.
