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 (22)

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:

acquire imaging information for selecting 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 first control for performing a switching control from the mechanical correction to the electronic correction and synchronizing shake correction operations of the mechanical correction and the electronic correction, based on the acquired imaging information,

detect a predetermined target, and

in a case of detecting the target, decrease a first operation ratio in accordance with passage of time and increase a second operation ratio in accordance with passage of time, the first operation ratio being a ratio of a shake correction amount of the mechanical correction to a correction amount necessary for the shake correction, and the second operation ratio being a ratio of a shake correction amount of the electronic correction to a correction amount necessary for the shake correction.

2. A shake correction control device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to perform a second control for performing a switching control from the electronic correction to the mechanical correction, and perform different controls for each of the first control and the second control.

3. A shake correction control device according to claim 1 , wherein the target is an object with a unique shape.

4. A shake correction control device according to claim 1 , wherein the target is a moving object.

5. A shake correction control device according to claim 1 , wherein the target is an object with a specific color.

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

7. A shake correction method of an imaging apparatus comprising:

acquiring imaging information for selecting mechanical correction for mechanically performing shake correction of a subject image or electronic correction for electronically performing shake correction of the subject image,

performing a first control for performing a switching control from the mechanical correction to the electronic correction and synchronizing shake correction operations of the mechanical correction and the electronic correction, based on the acquired imaging information,

detecting a predetermined target,

in a case of detecting the target, decreasing a first operation ratio in accordance with passage of time and increasing a second operation ratio in accordance with passage of time, the first operation ratio being a ratio of a shake correction amount of the mechanical correction to a correction amount necessary for the shake correction, and the second operation ratio being a ratio of a shake correction amount of the electronic correction to a correction amount necessary for the shake correction.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program executable by a computer to perform a process comprising:

acquiring imaging information for selecting mechanical correction for mechanically performing shake correction of a subject image or electronic correction for electronically performing shake correction of the subject image,

performing a first control for performing a switching control from the mechanical correction to the electronic correction and synchronizing shake correction operations of the mechanical correction and the electronic correction, based on the acquired imaging information,

detecting a predetermined target,

in a case of detecting the target, decreasing a first operation ratio in accordance with passage of time and increasing a second operation ratio in accordance with passage of time, the first operation ratio being a ratio of a shake correction amount of the mechanical correction to a correction amount necessary for the shake correction, and the second operation ratio being a ratio of a shake correction amount of the electronic correction to a correction amount necessary for the shake correction.
