To provide an imaging apparatus, wherein a subject is irradiated with appropriate light even when blurring is optically corrected.

The imaging apparatus 1 is equipped with a light emitting means 55 continuously emitting light to the subject, and generates an image signal by forming an image of the subject on an imaging device through an imaging optical system 10, wherein an amount of blurring is detected, and the blurring is optically corrected by moving at least part of the imaging optical system 10 and also the irradiation area of the light emitting means 55 is corrected based on the detected amount of the blurring.
