Abstract
A camera is provided with: a detector for detecting a shake amount of the apparatus with respect to an object at an interval; a calculator for calculating a shake speed and a shake acceleration rate based on detected shake amounts, and calculates an estimative shake amount based on a calculated shake speed, a calculated shake acceleration rate, and a coefficient k (0<k<1) on an assumption that a shake is uniformly accelerated motion, the coefficient k being a multiplier for the calculated shake acceleration rate; and a corrector for executing a shake correction in accordance with a calculated estimative shake amount.
Claims8
An apparatus comprising:
- a detector which detects a shake amount of the apparatus with respect to an object at an interval;
- a selector which selects, in accordance with a predetermined reference time space before a particular detection time point, a plurality of shake amounts among shake amounts detected by the detector;
- and
- a calculator which executes calculation on a shake of the apparatus based on detected shake amounts selected by the selector.
