Abstract

An image pickup device includes an optical system including a plurality of lenses, an imaging element that captures a subject image formed by the optical system, and a peripheral light quantity correction unit that corrects peripheral light quantity of an image captured by the imaging element. The image pickup device also includes a shake detector that detects shake of the image pickup device, and a drive controller that moves at least one of (i) the plurality of lenses and (ii) the imaging element on a plane perpendicular to an optical axis in response to an output signal of the shake detector to correct the shake. The peripheral light quantity correction unit extracts a predetermined frequency component of the shake and changes a correction amount of the peripheral light quantity in response to the predetermined frequency component of the shake.

Claims (21)

1. An image pickup device comprising:

an optical system including a plurality of lenses;

an image sensor that captures a subject image formed by the optical system;

a processor configured to correct peripheral light quantity of an image captured by the image sensor;

a shake detector that detects shake of the image pickup device; and

a drive controller that moves at least one of (i) the plurality of lenses and (ii) the image sensor on a plane perpendicular to an optical axis in response to an output signal of the shake detector to correct the shake,

wherein

the processor extracts a predetermined frequency component of the shake and corrects peripheral light quantity by increasing gain of image data outputted from the image sensor in response to correction gain in response to the predetermined frequency component of the shake.

2. The image pickup device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor extracts the predetermined frequency component of the shake from the output signal of the shake detector, and changes the correction amount of the peripheral light quantity in response to the predetermined frequency component of the shake.

3. The image pickup device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor extracts the predetermined frequency component of the shake from a drive control signal to move at least one of (i) the plurality of lenses and (ii) the image sensor in the drive controller, and then the processor changes the correction amount of the peripheral light quantity in response to the predetermined frequency component of the shake.

4. The image pickup device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor has a plurality of pieces of correction data depending on an image height on the image sensor.

5. The image pickup device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an interchangeable lens including the optical system; and

a camera body including the image sensor and the processor,

wherein

the interchangeable lens and the camera body are detachable.

6. The image pickup device according to claim 5 , wherein

the optical system includes a correction lens for correcting the shake.
