Image stabilization control apparatus and method

An image stabilization control method comprising:

• calculating a first shake reduction target value for reducing translational shake in a first direction using a first signal indicating translational shake in the first direction and a second signal indicating rotational shake about an axis in a second direction which is orthogonal to the first direction;
• calculating a second shake reduction target value for reducing the translational shake in the first direction using the first signal and a third signal indicating rotational shake about an axis in a third direction which is orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction;
• and
• selecting one of a plurality of shake reduction target values, including at least the first shake reduction target value and the second shake reduction target value, for reducing the translational shake in the first direction based on the second signal and the third signal.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the storage medium storing a program that is executable by the computer, wherein the program includes program code for causing the computer to function as an image stabilization control apparatus comprising:

• a first calculation unit that calculates a first shake reduction target value for reducing translational shake in a first direction using a first signal indicating translational shake in the first direction and a second signal indicating rotational shake about an axis in a second direction which is orthogonal to the first direction;
• a second calculation unit that calculates a second shake reduction target value for reducing the translational shake in the first direction using the first signal and a third signal indicating rotational shake about an axis in a third direction which is orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction;
• and
• a selection unit that selects one of a plurality of shake reduction target values, including at least the first shake reduction target value and the second shake reduction target value, for reducing the translational shake in the first direction based on the second signal and the third signal.
