Abstract

A shake correction control device includes a processor that selects mechanical correction of mechanically performing shake correction of a subject image or electronic correction of electronically performing the shake correction of the subject image. The processor performs a switching control from either of the mechanical correction or the electronic correction to the other of the mechanical correction or the electronic correction, and synchronizes shake correction operations of the mechanical correction and the electronic correction during the switching control, and changes an operation ratio of the mechanical correction and the electrical correction during the switching control.

Claims (25)

1. A shake correction control device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that is connected to or incorporated in the processor, the processor being configured to:

select mechanical correction for mechanically performing shake correction of a subject image or electronic correction for electronically performing shake correction of the subject image,

perform a switching control from either of the mechanical correction or the electronic correction to the other of the mechanical correction or the electronic correction, and synchronize shake correction operations of the mechanical correction and the electronic correction during the switching control, and

change an operation ratio of the mechanical correction and the electrical correction during the switching control.

2. The shake correction control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to perform, as the switching control, a first control of switching from the mechanical correction to the electrical correction and a second control of switching from the electrical correction to the mechanical correction.

3. The shake correction control device according to claim 2 , wherein time lengths of the first control and the second control are different from each other.

4. The shake correction control device according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to set a longer length for a time period of the first control than for a time period of the second control.

5. The shake correction control device according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to, in the second control, increase a first operation ratio of the mechanical correction and decrease a second operation ratio of the electrical correction by synchronizing the shake correction operations of the mechanical correction and the electronic correction, from a start to an end of the second control.

6. An imaging apparatus comprising the shake correction control device according to claim 5 .

7. The shake correction control device according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to, in the second control, perform the switching control from the electronic correction to the mechanical correction without synchronizing the shake correction operations.

8. An imaging apparatus comprising the shake correction control device according to claim 4 .

9. The shake correction control device according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to, in the second control, increase a first operation ratio of the mechanical correction and decrease a second operation ratio of the electrical correction by synchronizing the shake correction operations of the mechanical correction and the electronic correction, from a start to an end of the second control.

10. An imaging apparatus comprising the shake correction control device according to claim 9 .

11. The shake correction control device according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to, in the second control, perform the switching control from the electronic correction to the mechanical correction without synchronizing the shake correction operations.

12. An imaging apparatus comprising the shake correction control device according to claim 3 .

13. The shake correction control device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to, in the second control, increase a first operation ratio of the mechanical correction and decrease a second operation ratio of the electrical correction by synchronizing the shake correction operations of the mechanical correction and the electronic correction, from a start to an end of the second control.

14. An imaging apparatus comprising the shake correction control device according to claim 13 .

15. The shake correction control device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to, in the second control, perform the switching control from the electronic correction to the mechanical correction without synchronizing the shake correction operations.

16. An imaging apparatus comprising the shake correction control device according to claim 15 .

17. An imaging apparatus comprising the shake correction control device according to claim 2 .

18. The shake correction control device according to claim 1 , wherein the mechanical correction is performed by moving a correction optical system.

19. An imaging apparatus comprising the shake correction control device according to claim 1 .

20. The imaging apparatus according to claim 19 , wherein the imaging apparatus is a monitoring camera.
