Abstract
A control apparatus includes a detector configured to detect a moving amount of an object image on an imaging plane based on shake information acquired from a shake detector and motion vector information acquired from an image signal, a calculator configured to calculate an object angular velocity based on the moving amount of the object image, the motion vector information, and a cycle of acquiring the object image, and a corrector configured to perform an image stabilization based on the object angular velocity.
