Abstract
An imaging device includes an imaging lens, an imaging element that captures an image transmitted through the imaging lens, a blur detection part configured to detect a blur, an actuator configured to determine a position of the imaging lens, and an actuator driver configured to control the actuator in accordance with a blur detection signal from the blur detection part. The shift of the image occurring when forcibly changing the position of the imaging lens is corrected by shift of an effective pixel area of the imaging element according to the forcible change amount of the position of the imaging lens.
Claims7
An imaging device comprising:
- an imaging lens;
- an imaging element that captures an image transmitted through the imaging lens;
- a blur detection part configured to detect a blur;
- an actuator configured to determine a position of the imaging lens;
- and
- an actuator driver configured to control the actuator in accordance with a blur detection signal from the blur detection part,
- wherein a shift of the image occurring when forcibly changing the position of the imaging lens is corrected by shift of an effective pixel area of the imaging element according to a forcible change amount of the position of the imaging lens.
