## Abstract

A processor of an imaging apparatus including an imaging element that images a subject through an imaging optical system is configured to: perform a recording control of performing one of: first processing as defined herein; and second processing as defined herein; perform an image shake correction control of correcting an image shake of a captured image output from the imaging element by moving one or both of the imaging element and a lens included in the imaging optical system; perform image processing of generating a live view image for displaying a subject image formed in the second region on a display unit; and perform a control of setting, in a case of performing the first processing, a movable range of at least one of the imaging element and the lens in the image shake correction control to be larger than in a case of performing the second processing.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A processor of an imaging apparatus including an imaging element that images a subject through an imaging optical system, the processor being configured to:
perform a recording control of performing one of: first processing of recording a first captured image output from a first region of a light-receiving region of the imaging element;
and second processing of recording a second captured image output from a second region, which is larger than the first region, of the light-receiving region;
perform an image shake correction control of correcting an image shake of a captured image output from the imaging element by moving one or both of the imaging element and a lens included in the imaging optical system; and
perform a control of setting, in a case of performing the first processing, a movable range of at least one of the imaging element and the lens in the image shake correction control to be larger than in a case of performing the second processing,
wherein the processor is configured to decide the movable range in a case of performing the first processing based on a ratio of sizes of the first region and the second region.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The processor of an imaging apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the processor is configured to, in a case of correcting the image shake by moving both of the imaging element and the lens, decide the movable range of the imaging element based on a first allocation ratio allocated to the imaging element and decide the movable range of the lens based on a second allocation ratio allocated to the lens, and
the first allocation ratio and the second allocation ratio are decided based on the ratio of sizes of the first region and the second region.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

An imaging apparatus comprising:
the processor according to claim 1; and
the imaging element.

### Claim 4

A control method of an imaging apparatus including an imaging element that images a subject through an imaging optical system, the method comprising:
performing a recording control of performing any of first processing of recording a first captured image output from a first region of a light-receiving region of the imaging element and second processing of recording a second captured image output from a second region, which is larger than the first region, of the light-receiving region;
performing an image shake correction control of correcting an image shake of a captured image output from the imaging element by moving one or both of the imaging element and a lens included in the imaging optical system; and
performing a control of setting, in a case of performing the first processing, a movable range of at least one of the imaging element and the lens in the image shake correction control to be larger than in a case of performing the second processing,
wherein the movable range in a case of performing the first processing is decided based on a ratio of sizes of the first region and the second region.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The control method of an imaging apparatus according to claim 4,
wherein in a case of correcting the image shake by moving both of the imaging element and the lens, the movable range of the imaging element is decided based on a first allocation ratio allocated to the imaging element, and the movable range of the lens is decided based on a second allocation ratio allocated to the lens, and
the first allocation ratio and the second allocation ratio are decided based on the ratio of sizes of the first region and the second region.

### Claim 6

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a control program of an imaging apparatus including an imaging element that images a subject through an imaging optical system, the control program causing a processor to execute:
a recording control of performing any of first processing of recording a first captured image output from a first region of a light-receiving region of the imaging element and second processing of recording a second captured image output from a second region, which is larger than the first region, of the light-receiving region;
an image shake correction control of correcting an image shake of a captured image output from the imaging element by moving one or both of the imaging element and a lens included in the imaging optical system; and
a control of setting, in a case of performing the first processing, a movable range of at least one of the imaging element and the lens in the image shake correction control to be larger than in a case of performing the second processing,
wherein the movable range in a case of performing the first processing is decided based on a ratio of sizes of the first region and the second region.
