Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an image sensor configured to capture an object image formed through an imaging optical system, an image stabilization unit configured to move the image sensor on a plane orthogonal to an optical axis in the imaging optical system, and a controller configured to control a movement by the image stabilization unit, and to determine a moving center in the image plane image stabilization unit based on information on the imaging optical system in an electronic preview mode used to observe an image signal about the object image based on an output from the image sensor.
Claims22
An imaging apparatus to which a lens apparatus having an imaging optical system is attachable, the imaging apparatus comprising:
- an image sensor configured to capture an object image formed through the imaging optical system;
- an image stabilization unit configured to move the image sensor on a plane orthogonal to an optical axis in the imaging optical system;
- a controller configured to control a movement by the image stabilization unit;
- and
- a receiver configured to receive, from the attached lens apparatus, at least one of information on a position of an optical axis in the imaging optical system and information on a size of an image circle of the imaging optical system,
- wherein the controller controls the movement by the image stabilization unit based on information on the imaging optical system which the receiver acquires from the lens apparatus in an electronic preview mode used to observe an image signal about the object image based on an output from the image sensor.
A camera system comprising:
- an imaging optical system included in a lens apparatus;
- an image sensor configured to capture an object image formed through the imaging optical system;
- an image stabilization unit configured to move the image sensor on a plane orthogonal to an optical axis in the imaging optical system;
- a controller configured to control a movement by the image stabilization unit;
- and
- a receiver configured to receive, from the lens apparatus, at least one of information on a position of an optical axis in the camera system and information on a size of an image circle of the imaging optical system,
- wherein the controller controls the movement by the image stabilization unit based on information on the imaging optical system which the receiver acquires from the lens apparatus in an electronic preview mode used to observe an image signal about the object image based on an output from the image sensor.
