Image pickup apparatus and control method

An image pickup apparatus comprising:

• a shake detecting unit configured to detect a shake of the image pickup apparatus;
• a first optical correcting unit and a second optical correcting unit configured to correct optically an image shake by using a shake signal output from the shake detecting unit;
• a first position detecting unit configured to detect a position of the first optical correcting unit and output a first position detection signal;
• and
• a calculating unit configured to calculate a first target position signal for controlling the first optical correcting unit based on the shake signal,
• wherein the calculating unit calculates a second target position signal for controlling the second optical correcting unit by using a signal that is calculated by using the first target position signal and the first position detection signal output by detecting the position of the first optical correcting unit controlled by the first target position signal.

An imaging method, the method comprising:

• detecting a shake of an image pickup apparatus by a shake detecting unit;
• correcting optically an image shake by using a shake signal output from the shake detecting unit by a first optical correcting unit and a second optical correcting unit;
• detecting a position of the first optical correcting unit and outputting a first position detection signal;
• and
• calculating a first target position signal for controlling the first optical correcting unit based on the shake signal,
• wherein the calculating calculates a second target position signal for controlling the second optical correcting unit by using the signal obtained by subtracting the first position detection signal, that is output by detecting the position of the first optical correcting unit controlled by the first target position signal, from the first target position signal.
