Imaging device including shake correction mechanism, and operation method and operation program thereof

An operation method of an imaging device including an image sensor in which a subject image is formed on an imaging surface through an imaging optical system including a zoom lens and a sensor movement type shake correction mechanism that performs a sensor movement operation of moving the image sensor in a direction to cancel a shake, the method comprising:

• a zoom operation determination step of determining whether or not a zoom operation in which the zoom lens moves is being performed;
• and
• an operation deciding step of deciding an operation of the shake correction mechanism and restricting at least a part of the sensor movement operation which is allowed while the zoom operation is stopped in a case where determination is made in the zoom operation determination step that the zoom operation is being performed,
• wherein the restricting executed while the zoom operation is performed includes a range restriction that restricts a movable range of the image sensor compared with the movable range while the zoom operation is stopped.

A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing a computer-executable program for an imaging device including an image sensor in which a subject image is formed on an imaging surface through an imaging optical system including a zoom lens and a sensor movement type shake correction mechanism that performs a sensor movement operation of moving the image sensor in a direction to cancel a shake, the computer-executable program causing a computer to execute:

• a zoom operation determination function of determining whether or not a zoom operation in which the zoom lens moves is being performed;
• and
• an operation deciding function of deciding an operation of the shake correction mechanism and restricting at least a part of the sensor movement operation which is allowed while the zoom operation is stopped in a case where determination is made by the zoom operation determination function that the zoom operation is being performed,
• wherein the restricting executed while the zoom operation is performed includes a range restriction that restricts a movable range of the image sensor compared with the movable range while the zoom operation is stopped.
