WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/083545

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

An imaging device having a camera-shake correction function which does not perform erroneous camera-shake correction because of a front curtain shock. A shutter selecting section (625) judges the camera mode as a camera-shake correcting mode if the following four conditions are met: the camera-shake correction switch (313) is on; a tripod sensor (185S) is not installed on the tripod; a camera-shake sensor (171) is sensing the amount of camera shake more than a predetermined value; the shutter speed is slower than a predetermined value, selects an electronic focal plane shutter is a front curtain, and gives an operation instruction signal to an electronic focal plane shutter control section (627). In cases not satisfying the four conditions, the shutter selecting section (625) judges the camera mode as not the camera-shake correcting mode, selects a mechanical focal plane shutter as a front curtain, and gives an operation instruction signal to a shutter drive control section (73A).
