Abstract

An imaging apparatus includes a follow shot control unit and a blur correction unit. The follow shot control unit calculates a panning angular velocity and a tilting angular velocity based on a first or second angular velocity for an image pickup device on the basis of magnitude correlation between the first and second angular velocities for image pickup device and on the basis of an inclination angle immediately before exposure and a ratio between the first and second angular velocities, when a state is a following shot state. The blur correction unit calculates an image blur correction amount on the basis of a difference between the first angular velocity and the panning angular velocity and a difference between the second angular velocity and the tilting angular velocity.
