Abstract

An imaging apparatus includes a display device for suppressing a motion blur during a panning operation and displaying a picture with high simultaneity. The imaging apparatus also includes: an imaging unit including a lens and an imaging element; a display device including a pixel whose light emission period is adjustable, for displaying an image of a target object to be imaged; an angular velocity sensor for detecting a movement of the imaging element; a panning speed detection unit for detecting a panning speed based on an output from the angular velocity sensor; a light emission period ratio determination unit for determining a light emission period ratio of the pixel based on the panning speed; and a display device driving unit for driving the display device by using the light emission period ratio determined by the light emission period ratio determination unit.
