Abstract: Shake correction is performed using posture information corresponding to each frame of image data constituting a moving image on each frame, the frame having been subjected to processing of pasting to a celestial sphere model. Further, protrusion prevention processing for correcting an effective cropping area from each frame so that the effective cropping area does not protrude from a movable area in which the effective shake correction is maintained is performed on a requested cropping area to set an effective cropping area applied to each frame. Processing for generating an effective cropping area image is performed, the effective cropping area image being an image subjected to the shake correction and then projected onto a plane model from the celestial sphere model and being an image of the set effective cropping area.
