Abstract
A shake detector includes: a shake detection unit that detects an amount of shake, and outputs a shake detection signal and a reference signal; a signal processing unit that amplifies and smoothes the shake detection signal and the reference signal, and outputs the shake detection signal as a signal used in subsequent processing; an adjustment unit that outputs an adjustment signal for adjusting an output signal from the signal processing unit; and a control operation unit that, in a first period for which there is no shake in the imaging apparatus, stores a control value for controlling the adjustment unit on the basis of the reference signal, and that, in a second period different from the first period, generates a control signal for controlling the adjustment unit on the basis of the reference signal and the stored control value and outputs the control signal.
