a shake correction processing unit configured to calculate an amount of shake correction for the correction lens and the imaging device based on an output from the shake detection unit; and

a lens driving unit configured to perform image blur correction by moving the correction lens in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis based on an output from the shake correction processing unit,

wherein the camera body further comprises a device driving unit configured to perform image blur correction by moving the imaging device in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis,

wherein the lens driving unit moves the correction lens to a predetermined center position and the device driving unit shifts the imaging device by an amount corresponding to an amount of the movement of the correction lens to the center position at a beginning of exposure of the imaging device, and

wherein the lens driving unit drives the correction lens around the center position based on the output from the shake correction processing unit during a period of the exposure.

2. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the interchangeable lens further comprises a first communication unit configured to communicate with the camera body,

the camera body further comprises a second communication unit configured to communicate with the interchangeable lens, and

information indicating the amount of the movement of the correction lens is transmitted from the interchangeable lens to the camera body via the first communication unit and the second communication unit.

3. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the lens driving unit performs the image blur correction by moving the correction lens based on a high-frequency component in the output from the shake correction processing unit, and

the device driving unit performs the image blur correction by moving the imaging device based on a low-frequency component in the output from the shake correction processing unit.

4. An interchangeable lens to be mounted to a camera body including an imaging device configured to generate image data by imaging an object image which is formed by the interchangeable lens, the interchangeable lens comprising:

a correction lens configured to correct an image blur;

a shake detection unit configured to detect a shake of at least one of the camera body and the interchangeable lens;

a shake correction processing unit configured to calculate an amount of shake correction for the correction lens and the imaging device based on an output from the shake detection unit;

a lens driving unit configured to perform image blur correction by moving the correction lens in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis based on an output from the shake correction processing unit; and

a communication unit configured to communicate with the camera body,

wherein the lens driving unit moves the correction lens to a predetermined center position at a beginning of exposure of the imaging device, and drives the correction lens around the center position based on the output from the shake correction processing unit during a period of the exposure, and

wherein the communication unit transmits to the camera body information indicating an amount of the movement of the correction lens to the center position at the beginning of the exposure.

5. A camera body to which an interchangeable lens is to be mounted, the camera body comprising:

an imaging device configured to generate image data by imaging an object image which is formed by the interchangeable lens;

a device driving unit configured to perform image blur correction by moving the imaging device in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis; and

a first communication unit configured to communicate with the interchangeable lens,

wherein the interchangeable lens comprises:

a correction lens configured to correct an image blur;

a shake detection unit configured to detect a shake of at least one of the camera body and the interchangeable lens;

a shake correction processing unit configured to calculate an amount of shake correction for the correction lens and the imaging device based on an output from the shake detection unit;

a lens driving unit configured to perform image blur correction by moving the correction lens in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis based on an output from the shake correction processing unit; and

a second communication unit configured to communicate with the camera body,

wherein the lens driving unit moves the correction lens to a predetermined center position at a beginning of exposure of the imaging device, and drives the correction lens around the center position based on the output from the shake correction processing unit during a period of the exposure,

wherein the first communication unit receives from the interchangeable lens information indicating an amount of the movement of the correction lens to the center position,

wherein the device driving unit is configured to shift the imaging device during the period of exposure of the imaging device by an amount corresponding to the amount of the movement indicated by the received information, and

wherein the second communication unit transmits to the camera body the information indicating the amount of the movement of the correction lens to the center position at the beginning of the exposure.
