Abstract

See full text

This invention comprises an image sensor which captures a moving image of an object, the image of which is formed by an imaging lens, a first detection unit which detects vibration of an image capture apparatus, a second detection unit which detects movement of the object based on an image signal for each image capture period which is output by the image sensor, a distance detection unit which detects an object distance, which is a distance from the image capture apparatus to the object, a changing unit which changes an output of the second detection unit based on the object distance which is detected by the distance detection unit, and a driving unit which drives a vibration correction unit, which optically performs vibration correction, based on an output of the first detection unit and an output of the second detection unit which is changed by the changing unit.
