Abstract
An imaging apparatus that photographs a subject to obtain digital image information includes: a photographing operation detection unit that detects angular rate data in a photographing operation over a predetermined sampling period; a polynomial coefficient calculation unit that approximates the angular rate data over each sampling period detected by the photographing operation detection unit to a polynomial and calculates coefficients of the approximated polynomial; and a coefficient storage unit that stores the coefficients of the polynomial calculated by the polynomial coefficient calculation unit.
