Abstract: A video camera includes an LCD monitor. On the LCD monitor, an object scene image belonging to a camera-shake correction area out of the object scene image captured by an imaging surface is displayed. A CPU determines whether or not a movement of the object scene image captured by the imaging surface satisfies a pan/tilt condition or a camera-shake condition referring to a threshold value. The threshold value is set to a large numerical value as a zoom magnification is high. A camera-shake condition determining process is started in place of a pan/tilt condition determining process when the pan/tilt condition is satisfied. Also, the pan/tilt condition determining process is started in place of the camera-shake condition determining process when the camera-shake condition is satisfied. In addition, the camera-shake correction area is moved in such a direction as to cancel the movement of the object scene image captured by the imaging surface when the pan/tilt condition is not satisfied.
