Abstract
An image sensing apparatus having a camera shake correction function of moving an optical axis of an image sensing device, the apparatus comprises an optical axis moving amount acquisition unit configured to acquire a moving amount of the optical axis at the time of shooting; a dust pixel determination unit configured to scan image data acquired by pre-shooting, during which the camera shake correction function is disabled, and determine a dust pixel corresponding to dust that is adhered to the image sensing device; a dust correction data generation unit configured to generate dust correction data based on information about the dust pixel that has been determined by the dust pixel determination unit; and a holding unit configured to hold the moving amount of the optical axis acquired by the optical axis moving amount acquisition unit and the dust correction data generated by the dust correction data generation unit.
