Imaging Device

Abstract

It is possible to correct camera shaking even in an imaging device such as a camera-equipped mobile telephone having no sufficient ability for rapidly acquiring a plurality of images and a limited memory capacity. There is suggested an imaging device capable of correcting camera shaking by utilizing a small image such as a preview image and a target image to be obtained when a user of the imaging device clicks a shutter. The preview image has an appropriate exposure but has a high possibility that camera shaking has occurred. The target image is captured by insufficient exposure because of rapid shutter speed but the camera shaking is reduced. The image information on the target image is corrected by the image information on the preview image so as to obtain an image of reduced camera shaking and appropriate exposure.
