Unintentional hand movement canceling device and imaging apparatus

An unintentional hand movement canceling device, comprising:

• a swing detecting unit (18), (20) arranged to detect a swing of an image;
• and
• a correction quantity generating unit (20) arranged to generate a correction quantity Sn to calculate a correction position based on a swing quantity Vn detected by the swing detection unit (18), (20), a damping coefficient K of a swing quantity for controlling a characteristic of a non-corrected residue percent at a swing frequency and a damping center C of the swing quantity, the correction quantity having a variable characteristic of a non-corrected residue percent at a frequency of the swing and a variable damping center of a swing quantity, wherein
• the correction quantity Sn is represented by a function f(Sn−1, Vn, K, C), where the function has Sn−1, Vn, K and C as its elements, and Sn−1 is a correction quantity in a preceding frame, Vn is the swing quantity, K is the damping coefficient of the swing quantity and C is the damping center of the swing quantity, wherein
• the function f(Sn−1, Vn, K, C) is represented by the following equation:
• Sn=K·(Sn−1−C)+Vn+C.
